Dear Colleagues,
As I am not a zoologist but rather a historian, can anyone recommend an article or articles on epizootic mortality among horses in East Central Europe (Prussia/East Prussia, Poland, Hungary) between ca 1600 and ca 1800?
Thank you.

Hi Annelise and others,
I'm just picking up on this after a few days away.
Louisa Gidney wrote a poster on one such assemblage from Mediaeval Somerset,
I believe at the last ICAZ palaeopathology working group conference, which
is now available on her Academia.edu page.
Something else that may be of interest is an ethnozooarchaeological paper I
wrote concerning disease and starvation among cattle in Ethiopia. This is
to be published shortly as:
Broderick, L.G., In Press. Ritualisation (or The Four Fully-Articulated
Ungulates of The Apocalypse). In Pluskowski, A. ed. The Ritual Killing and
Burial of Animals: European Perspectives. Oxford: Oxbow Books. pp. 22-32

Hello Annelise,
this one will probably be relevant for your question:
Weigelt, Johannes (1999): Rezente Wirbeltierleichen und ihre
paläobiologische Bedeutung, 3. Auflage, Bad Vilbel
There is also an English version of the book.
Best
Christian
