Dear Zooarchers:

 Could anyone provide pdf articles on the effects of fluvial activity on the representation and distribution of skeletal parts?

 Many thanks in advance.

 Cheers,

Jacob,

I am currently doing preliminary research on P2 absence and other dental abnormalities in American bison. There are a few papers you might find useful, though they are not about cattle (some merely note the presence of abnormalities - I have these digitally if you're interested):

- Byerly 2007 - Palaeopathology in late Pleistocene and early Holocene Central Plains bison- dental enamel hypoplasia, fluoride toxicosis and the archaeological record (J Arch Sci) (just mentions it in data)
- Frison 1974 - The Casper Site: A Hell Gap Bison Kill on the High Plains (mentions/pictures some dental abnormalities, supposes biological stress) (Academic Press)
- Hoefs 2001 - Prevalence of Mandibular Oligodonty in Wild Sheep (Am Sci Mamm)
- Lyman 2010 - Mandibular Hypodontia and Osteoarthritis in Prehistoric Bighorn Sheep (Int J Osteo)

The last one I find the most interesting, but again, not cattle.

I'd be very interested to know what else is out there, from any country, for any ungulate.

Best of luck,

Dear Jacob,

I habitually record the absence of the lower P2, absence or reduction of the hypoconulid on the lower M3 and abnormal wear on the upper M3 in cattle and have come to the conclusion that all these dental characters form part of the same genetically determined syndrome. I have personally seen all of these in a single modern cattle skull. Unfortunately, none of the reports in which I have made these observations are yet in the public domain.

Dear Colleagues,
I'm trying to find out wether anything has been done on the subject of absent premolar teeth (P2) in cattle and wether observations of this kind has been used in zooarchaeological interpretation since the 1975 paper by Andrews and Noddle in Journal of Archaeological Science.

Any help on the subject will be appreciated !
