Even though I am only a student at present, I am looking at becoming an
archaeozoologist and I would be very interested in a pathology recording
scheme, as for beginners and those without much knowledge of the various
kinds of pathology (such as myself!) it can be very difficult to identify
pathologies on bone or even to find out what could have caused the
pathologies and how likely it is. As it can be so difficult I currently
have about a dozen skeletons exhibiting pathology and have only hazarded a
tentative guess at a couple of them, the rest I have no idea about.
