Dear Hans,
The APWG is still very much alive and well and the website has been recently refurbished (both in terms of content and look if anyone wants to take a look). Unfortunately though, it seems that APWG members have no answer to your query.
I have wondered whether your pathology is an ossified ligament attachement; does the growth eminate from either the medial or lateral rough lines?

Subject: [ZOOARCH] dog pathology
Dear all,
within the material from a defense ditch of the late medieval castle of Vechta, Niedersachsen, Germany, I found a dog femur with a spiny bone attachment at the caudal side. I have to admit I have never seen something similar before and would be glad for anybody who has any ideas or clues. I put a picture of the find on my website at http://www.knochenarbeit.de/pictures.php
Regards
Christian
P.S.: By the way: Does anybody know what happened to the Animal Palaeopathology Working Group (http://www.apwg.supanet.com). Is it still alive? I never received any reply to my enquiry there.
