Hello
I have tracked down two informative studies on the chewing by pigs of long bones of relatively large mammals. These are
HASKEL J. GREENFIELD
Bone Consumption by Pigs in a Contemporary Serbian Village: Implications for the Interpretation of Prehistoric Faunal Assemblages.
Journal of Field Archaeology. 1: 473-479 (1988)
S. D. DOMINGUEZ-SOLERA AND M. DOMINGUEZ-RODRIGO*
A Taphonomic Study of Bone Modification and of Tooth-Mark Patterns on Long Limb Bone Portions by Suids
Int. J. Osteoarchaeol. 19: 345–363 (2009)
They contain excellent illustrations of the effects of chewing by pigs
Does anybody know of experimental studies with additional illustrations?
I am also interested in case studies of forensic investigation into chewing of human bones by pigs?
