Dear Anna;
There might be a linguistic problem here. In the UK, elk IS moose. In the States I believe you call wapiti (aka, Red Deer) elk.
Anyway, here is a reference that might be useful:
Brown, C., and C Gustafson
1980 A key to the postcranial skeletal remains of cattle/bison, elk and horse.
WSU Laboratory of Anthropology Reports of Investigations, no. 57
Good luck!

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Differentiating Elk and Moose Skeletal Remains
Does anyone know of references that describe skeletal differences between
elks and moose? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
