Hi Suzanne
Short answer is yes to (1), usually no - re 'died of' (2), and not off hand for (3 & 4).
 
Try googling and looking at google books:
faunal pathology
archaeozoology pathology
zooarchaeology path...
 
To some degree, bioarchaeology/palaeopathology -- eg people path will apply, though bacterial diseases express differently in diff species. And there are definitely some summary books on that.

From visual investigation of archaeological sheep remains, is it possible to determine if the specific individual had any diseases?  or died from any diseases?  In the historical record, what is the first date for the recognition and description of livestock diseases?  Can anyone recommend a summary publication that would cover this topic, either just for sheep and goats or for livestock in general?

thank you, sj
