Description

This table describes animal bones used in the 2nd study of bone collagen conducted by Michael Buckley and Sarah Whitcher Kansa.

Because the taxonomic identification of sheep and goat bone specimens can be less than certain, collagen analysis can be a useful way to improve confidence in taxonomic identification. The bone specimens represented in this table were specifically selected because they were difficult to differentiate between sheep and goat using morphological characteristics alone.

These data are referenced in the following paper:
