Many thanks to all who submitted titles in response to my query about cattle (Bos) exploitation practices as reflected in kill-off patterns. As promised, I have collated the titles and present them to you below. If you find anything of significance to be missing or any obvious errors, please do let me know. (Note: I have not done much standardization of the titles submitted.) Thanks again, and Happy Holidays to one and all. Richard H. Meadow Zooarchaeology Lab. Peabody Museum, Harvard University ------------------------------------------------- Results to date (17 December 2008) of the following enquiry posted on the Zooarch Listserv on 4 December 2008 by Richard H. Meadow: "Not being familiar with much of the zooarchaeological work in Britain, could I ask for the titles of what you consider some good reports on cattle (Bos) exploitation practices as reflected in kill-off patterns documented using tooth eruption and wear and/or epiphyseal union. Examples from the continent would also be appropriate. I am particularly interested in the methodologies being employed, age ranges defined, and interpretations of the ageing data. Titles of reports, monographs, and articles would all be welcome." Albarella, U. and Davis, S.
