Hi Jørn,

if you need aurochs measurements, you can also consider consulting the following publications:

Wright, E. (2016). The morphological variability of the European aurochs from the Middle Pleistocene to its extinction: a zooarchaeological study. British Archaeological Reports International Series 2815. 

Wright, E (ed.) (2016). Biometrical Database of European Aurochs and Domestic Cattle. Open Context. http://opencontext.dainst.org/projects/1816A043-92E2-471D-A23D-AAC58695D0D3. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.6078/M7TX3C9V. 

Wright, E and Viner-Daniels, S. (2015). Geographical variation in the size and shape of the European aurochs (Bos primigenius). Journal of Archaeological Science 54:8-22.

Cheers,
Umberto

Dear Zooarchers,

 

I am looking for  the measurements of aurochs metatarsals, as given by Degerbøl & Fredskild (1970; The urus (Bos primigenius Bojanus) and neolithic cattle (Bos taurus domesticus Linné) in Denmark, Kopenhagen (Biologiske Skrifter 17/1). Anyone who can share them with me? J

 

Very best,

Jørn Zeiler
