The abundant anthropological and historical evidence for animal-based medicine, or zootherapy, suggests that animals are, and have always been, perceived as important components in maintaining human health and well-being. Despite being interwoven int... Read More about Zootherapy in archaeology: the case of the fallow deer (Dama dama dama).

DamaDentition: A New Tooth Eruption and Wear Method for Assessing the Age of Fallow Deer (Dama dama): Tooth Eruption and Wear Method for Assessing Fallow Deer age (2016)
Journal Article
Bowen, F., Carden, R., Daujat, J., Grouard, S., Miller, H., Perdikaris, S., & Sykes, N. (2016). DamaDentition: A New Tooth Eruption and Wear Method for Assessing the Age of Fallow Deer (Dama dama): Tooth Eruption and Wear Method for Assessing Fallow Deer age. International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 26(6), 1089-1098. https://doi.org/10.1002/oa.2523

Reliable ageing techniques for wild animals are notoriously challenging to develop because of the scarcity of sizeable collections of known‐age specimens. Without such techniques it is difficult to reconstruct hunting patterns, which is a significant...
