Dear colleagues,<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know of any early sources in which the survivorship for animals is calculated by the percent of fused epiphyses for different age classes? (For example, if group A (px. radius and ds. scapula) has 3 fused, 1 unfused remains, then the percent fused = 75%, and the survivorship of animals past group A is thus 75%).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The earliest source I can find for this is Flannery&#39;s 1969 chapter in the Prehistory and Human Ecology of the Deh Luran Plain.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div><div>
