Hi Kirsty,

I know from the following publications that some of the horses described had nice pathology. You might want to contact the German writers and ask if you can have a look.

Helga Thiele-Messow and Eberhard May. Osteologische Bearbeitung von Pferdeskeletten aus den Pferdegräbern des Gräberfeldes von Sarstedt. Beiträge zur Archäozoologie und Prähistorischen Anthropologie.  N.Benecke. Anonymous. Langenweißbach:(V):83-92, 2006. The 19 investigated horse-sekeletons of the saxon graveyard near Sarstedt were most probably saddlehorses, most of them of younger age, some still not full-grown. The majority were male horses. However, one can not rule out that some have been geldings. With regard to the shape of the long bones the Sarstedt horses can be classified as animals with slender built legs (accodring to the system of Brauner 1916). Besides, it can be stated that these horses have not been treated with care. This is demonstrated b the pathologies observed on the skeletons. The loading of the horses led to an arthrotic complex of symptoms which appeared already at relatively young animals. The reason for those inflammations could be overloading, however, injuries of the soft-parts and the special composition of the fodder could have led to an inflammation as well. Unfortunately, the opportunity of carrying out more precise research on the causes was not given. With regard to the age at death, the withers height and the shape of the long bones the Sarstedt horses are similar to those from the graveyard at Liebenau.

Ilona Becker. Zur nutzungsspezifischen und paläopathologischen Beurteilung von Pferdeknochen aus archäologischen Grabungen - Die Pferdeskelette von Rullstorf bei Lüneburg. Beiträge zur Archäozoologie und Prähistorischen Anthropologie.  N.Benecke. Anonymous. Langenweißbach:(V):70-76, 2006. Not only the proportion of one limb-bone to the other is important for typifying the race and the character of movement of excavated horses. Some limb-bones have definite angles to each other, which are conditioning the capacity of movement. Horse-breeding of the most races today is not possible without knowledge of these angles. In one case the angle affects a definite proportion-characteristic. 41 horse-skeletons of a saxonian burial-ground in Germany near Lüneburg were investigated. Important differences in the scapula-area in comparison to recent races were demonstrated. Differences of the scapula area exist in comparison to horses of other cultures at the same time-period.

Best wishes,

Jessica Grimm
