Dear Colleagues,

As I am not a zoologist but rather a historian, can anyone recommend an article or articles on epizootic mortality among horses in East Central Europe (Prussia/East Prussia, Poland, Hungary) between ca 1600 and ca 1800?

Thank you.

Hi Annelise and others,

I'm just picking up on this after a few days away.

Louisa Gidney wrote a poster on one such assemblage from Mediaeval Somerset,
I believe at the last ICAZ palaeopathology working group conference, which
is now available on her Academia.edu page.

Something else that may be of interest is an ethnozooarchaeological paper I
wrote concerning disease and starvation among cattle in Ethiopia.  This is
to be published shortly as: 

Broderick, L.G., In Press. Ritualisation (or The Four Fully-Articulated
Ungulates of The Apocalypse). In Pluskowski, A. ed. The Ritual Killing and
Burial of Animals: European Perspectives. Oxford: Oxbow Books.  pp. 22-32

Hello Annelise,

this one will probably be relevant for your question:

Weigelt, Johannes (1999): Rezente Wirbeltierleichen und ihre
paläobiologische Bedeutung, 3. Auflage, Bad Vilbel

There is also an English version of the book.

Best

Christian
