Abstract: | Morphometrical approach of Equus caballus arcelini (sensu lato, Guadelli 1991) jugal milk teeth: determination criteria and mortality age estimation. This paper presents the main morphometrical results of the study of the last western European Pleistocene horse (Equus caballus arcelini sensu lato, Guadelli 1991) jugal milk teeth. In association with observed morphological characters, morphometrical data helps determination. The main purpose of this discrimination between the different jugal milk teeth is the estimation of the mortality age, according to the crown-height method. In an archaeological context, the use of this method on horses' dental series enables to study the issue of human settlements' seasonality. To cite this article: O. Bignon, C. R. Palevol 5 (2006). |
