Notes on items 2014-03-30 rAH    The excavator surmises that this representation may be a "gazelle." She is right to notice the tapering muzzle. The appropriate comparandum is, I believe, Capra. A look at Comparative Table 2A in Reading Figurines gives a range of possibilities.
   Once the researcher has determined the genus, the manner in which the representation will be shown in the photographic documentation must be determined. It is equally important. The photographs should be chosen so as to lead the reader or viewer to an appreciation of the aptness of the identification the researcher has made. [Input: Y401JW1.j]
