Dear Stephanie,
 
Some years ago I did an extensive analysis of the mandibles and maxillae from a Roman site near Cirencester, basing this analysis on Levitans work on the oral pathology from Middleton Stoney. The reference is
 

Rielly, K, 1988 The animal bone. In S.D. Trow,. Excavations at Ditches Hillfort, North Cerney, Gloucestershire, 1982-3. Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 106, 77-9 and fiche 1/B13 - 2/C7.

 
Unfortunately most of what you're interested in is on microfiche.
 
All the best

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Levitan Ungulate Mandibles Methodology

Dear Zooarch,

I have recently been looking at the methodologies used to record oral pathology. One of these is that devised by Levitan.

Levitan, B. 1985. A Methodology for Recording the Pathology and Other Anomalies of Ungulate Mandibles from Archaeological Sites. pp 41-54. In Palaeobiological Investigations: Research Design, Methods and Data Analysis. Fieller, NRJ, Gilbertson, DD, and Ralph, NGA (eds). BAR International Series 266.

I have not, however, been able to find any examples of this methodology actually being used.

Do any of you happen to know of any cases where this methodology was used on an archaeological assemblage?

Thank you.

Stephanie Vann
