Dear Fiona,

 

There is a paper that can be downloaded where the metapodial technique has been used to identify fox metapodials:

 

Baxter, I.L. and Hamilton-Dyer, S. 2003. Foxy in furs? A note  on evidence for the probable commercial exploitation of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) and other fur bearing mammals in Saxo-Norman (10^th-12th^th century AD) Hertford, Hertfordshire, U.K. Archaeofauna 12: 87-94. http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/icaz/icazForum/viewtopic.php?t=1080

 

Best wishes,

 

Ian L. Baxter
