I would like some advise on sexing a horse skeleton. How reliable is the
presence or absence of canine teeth? are there any other traits to look out
for? The animal in question is a complete articulated skeleton and
provisionally dated to Iron Age (and possesses canines). Also, are ribs or
vertebrae ok for C14 dating? I want to consolidate the rest of the skeleton
with PVA before lifting. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
With Thanks,
Ray Thirkettle
