The Sheep Project (3): A Review of Age‐at‐Death Estimation From Mandible Stage Schemes in the Light of a High Resolution Known‐Age Shetland Sheep Dataset

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The largest published dataset of sheep (Ovis aries) cheek tooth wear recorded from known‐age skeletonized mandibles is presented, with raw data disseminated as a supplement. The dataset has previously been used to investigate the influence of sex, nutrition, and breeding status on dental maturation (eruption and wear of individual teeth). Here,

A Modern Metrical Baseline for Sexing Sheep Horn‐Cores

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex determination is essential for reconstructing past livestock management, yet the limited skeletal sexual dimorphism of sheep hinders the identification of ewes, rams, and wethers in archaeological assemblages. Horn‐cores are the most sexually dimorphic element of the sheep skeleton, and here, we establish a new metrical baseline for ...

Asymmetrical Steps: Osteomorphological and Metric Patterns of Cattle Phalanges to Determine Anatomical Position

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a reproducible framework for identifying the anatomical position of cattle phalanges, integrating both morphological and osteometric approaches for application to modern and zooarchaeological assemblages. The dataset comprises 1853 phalanges from 106 individuals with known and unknown phalangeal position representing ...

Zooarchaeology of Houses and Middens: Investigating Patterns of Assemblage Composition at Early Inuit Sites Across the North American Arctic

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines faunal assemblages from paired semisubterranean houses and middens at 10 Early Inuit sites spanning the North American Arctic (ca. 1200–1500 ce) to evaluate whether local resource bases or other factors primarily structure zooarchaeological variability.
