Here are my picks:
Legge, A.J. 1981. Aspects of cattle husbandry. In: Farming Practice in
British Prehistory, ed. R. Mercer, 169-181. Edinburgh University
Press.
Davis S. & Payne S. 1993. A barrow full of cattle skulls. Antiquity 67, 12-22.
Reitz, E. and Ruff, B. 1994. Morphometric Data for Cattle from North
America and the Caribbean Prior to the 1850s. Journal of
Archaeological Science Volume 21, Issue 5, Pages 699–713
This one is not just zooarchaeology but I think a brilliant example of
integration:
Buckland, P.C, T. Amorosi, L.K. Barlow, A.J. Dugmore, P.A. Mayewski,
T.H. McGovern, A.E.J. Ogilvie, J.P. Sadler and P. Skidmore, 1996.
Bioarchaeological and climatological evidence for the fate of Norse
farmers in
medieval Greenland. Antiquity, 70(267):88-96.
