I can't speak for deer anatomy, but in the case of human skeletons the favoured parts are:
1.
A tooth with a pulp cavity, where the ends of the roots are sealed.
2.
The petrous portion of the temporal bone, because of its density.
I wonder whether deer anatomy parallels the property of human anatomy, so far as those parts go.
Regards,
Richard

[ZOOARCH] C14 and choice of sample
Dear zooarchers,
I have to send samples for analysis from two deer burials. Which bone should I choose? First of all, are there bones to favor?
Thanks for your help
Chloé
