If anyone has a pdf, I would appreciate a copy. Sincerely Haskel From: Analysis of animal remains from archaeological sites [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lee G. Broderick Sent: September-23-09 7:00 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ZOOARCH] Medieval rural site, Ireland Hi Albina, Bird bones do not fuse in the same way as mammal bones, as you probably know, but the best reference I have found on the subject is the following: Schröder L. and Junge D. Contents of histochemically detectable iron in certain organs of the domesticated chicken (Gallus domesticus L) [Journal] // Acta Histochemica. - 1972. - 2 : Vol. 43. - pp. 309-320. Unfortunately, I do not have a pdf copy, but others might, if they cannot suggest a better reference. Incidentally, if anyone does have a pdf copy, I would be grateful for one! Best regards, Lee G.

The assemblage is rather small, NISP around 400 but has a 1:1 ratio of cattle to horse and 2:1 ratio of sheep to cattle. I was also wondering if there is any information available about fusion ages for chicken bones. Kind regards, Albina Hulda Palsdottir No virus found in this incoming message.
