Hello Ziortza,
Veronique Laroulandie illustrates bird bones which were almost certainly chewed by people in her thesis and also in :
Laroulandie, V., 2005b. Anthropologenic versus non-anthropogenic bird bone assemblages: new criteria for their distinction, in Biosphere to Lithosphere, ed. T. O'Connor. Oxford: Oxbow, 25-30.

Best of luck with your study,
Dale

A paper by Lister (1996) in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology 6 (2) pages 119 - 143 differentiates between red deer (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama).

I agree with Lee that Barbara Lawrence is probably the best for differentiating deer, pronghorn, and sheep-goat.  If you are interested in differentiating between mule deer and white-tailed deer feel free to contact me. You can also access my dissertation online at http://etd.utk.edu/2004/JacobsonJodi.pdf  and download a pdf (beware it is a BIG file). This site is open to the public, at least in the US (and maybe abroad, I just don't know).  It is not in a "published" format yet but I am working on it.

Jodi

Dear Liz,

The following is forwarded from Lee Lyman, please feel free to contact him directly if you have any questions ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).

Distinguished from what???

1) from critters of similar size and shape: see Lawrence, Barbara. 1951. Post-cranial skeletal characters of deer, pronghorn, and sheep-goat with notes on Bos and Bison. Papers of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology 35(3), part 2.
--also see:  Hildebrand, Milton. 1955. Skeletal differences between deer, sheep, and goats. California Fish and Game 42:327–345.

2) from each other (i.e., differences between deer species), see: Jacobson, Jody A. 2003. Identification of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) postcranial remains as a means of determining human subsistence strategies. Plains Anthropologist 48:287-297.  [but be careful with this; her 2004 dissertation revises some of this, but she hasn't published those revisions as far as I know; I do have a copy of her dissertation on disk]

Hi all. My students have asked me to go over deer osteology in our introductory zooarchaeology class. I can think of some pointers for some elements but I am sure I am forgetting some.

Can anyone direct me towards a good reference for distinguishing deer bones?

Many thanks
liz
