ArchaeoCafé - Episode 2-34 - Palaeofelinology: An interview with Claudio Ottoni
<p>In this episode I talk with Claudio Ottoni about the origin and history of domestic cats.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Episode notes are available on the ArchaeoCafé website.<br> <a href="http://archaeocafe.kvasirpublishing.com/archaeocafe-podcast-ep-234-ottoni/" target="_blank">http://archaeocafe.kvasirpublishing.com/archaeocafe-podcast-ep-234-ottoni/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>About Claudio Ottoni</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Ottoni is a professor at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". His research interests are in biomolecular archaeology and the study of ancient DNA as a tool to reconstruct the past of human and animal populations. In particular, much of his research has focused on the history of cat-human interactions and particularly through the use of palaeogenetics. He has previously lead research projects at the Center for Archaeological Sciences (CAS) of the KU Leuven University, in Belgium, the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) of the University of Oslo, in Norway, and the Diet and Ancient Technology Laboratory (DANTE) of the Sapienza University of Rome, in Italy. Dr. Ottoni is currently the head of the FELIX project, funded by the European Research Council. </p> <p>Web:<br> https://uniroma.academia.edu/ClaudioOttoni<br> https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Claudio-Ottoni<br> https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=0u2SiNQAAAAJ<br> https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8870-1589</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Some useful terminology and links</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>FELIX project<br> This project analyses cats from 10,000 years ago until the 19th century from archaeological sites in Europe, the Near and Middle East, and North Africa to gain insights into the cat-human relationship. By reconstructing the genomes and the dietary habits of ancient cats, the objective of the project is to reconstruct the unique biological and ecological features that shaped cat domestication, and the dispersal of domestic cats across the globe.<br> https://www.ercfelix.com/project/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Domestic cat (Felis catus)<br> A domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.
