Dear All,
I am trying to sort out differentiation of pre- and post-natal bones for
sheep and goat for sites from the Croatian Neolithic-Iron Age. Can anyone
recommend articles detailing specific ways of differentiating
(osteologically, not radiographically) between foetal and infant remains,
as well as potentially mid- and late-term foetal remains and perhaps
developmental changes in the first three months post-natal?
Or, alternatively, does anyone have/know of collections of foetal and
infant sheep and goat of known age (preferably of unimproved breeds)?
Sincerely,
