Dear Zooarch: Does anyone have pdf's of the following works: H. Epstein 1956 On the origin of Africander cattle, with comments on the classification and evolution of zebu cattle in general. Zeitschrift fur Tierzuchtung und Zuchtungsbiologie 66: 97-148. S. J. Olsen 1960 Post-cranial skeletal characteristics of Bison and Bos. Papers of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 25 (4). I know that zebu has been reported from Deir 'Alla (Jordan) and Tell Jemmeh (Israel). Is anyone aware of additional occurrences of zebu in the southern Levant between the Bronze Age-Roman periods? Many thanks in advance. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. *************************************** Edward F.
