Hello members,
Is there any interest in developing a national recordingsystem for
pathologies, if possible! As I understand each zooarchaeologist has it´s own
system, if any, when lesions are seen. This almost always mean that there
will be hard to compare with other finds from other excavations both
national as international if you don´t have pictures to show. If using a
more national recordingsystem it will lead to a more fast comparison when
having access to it by Internet. My own interest lies in pathological
deformations on cattle phalanges and metapodials and I have been using
Bartosiewicz, L. et al´s scoring-system on pahalanges and metapodials and
Baker & Brothwell for depressions in articular surfaces. Maybe this question
has been up before and turned out to be hard to solve. If so please let me
know.
Best regards,
Ylva Telldahl
