The analysis of the data shows that the growth of roe deer from the eastern part of Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) is very similar to that of specimens from other areas in Poland. A comparison with excavated bone material revealed only slight and fluctuating differences. The roe deer from the areas to the west of Poland are larger and those from the areas to the east of the country are the largest.

In order to study the body size of wild boar Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758 during the Boreal and Atlantic Chronozones in southern Scandinavia, 12 measurements of teeth and bones from 32 Mesolithic sites from Scania (Sweden) and Zealand and Jutland (Denmark) were analysed. The Osteometrie analysis revealed that the body size of wild boar from Scania did not change during the period. The results indicate that the changes of ecological conditions during the transition from the Boreal to the Atlantic chronozones did not affect wild boar in the same way as red deer and roe deer, which decreased in body size during the period. The tooth size of wild boar from Zealand is smaller than in wild boar from Jutland and Scania during the Late Atlantic Chronozones, which probably is the result of the isolation of the population when Zealand became an island. Calculations of withers height show that wild boar in southern Scandinavia during the Atlantic Chronozones were of similar body size as recent wild boar from eastern Europe.

The Gromnik excavations were carried out between 2005 and 2007 as the part of an extensive scientific project. During the visual-comparative analysis the animal bone remains were identified and classified. The osteometric measurements and osteoarchaelo- gical analysis was carried out. The osteoarchaeological investigations proved the majority of bovine remains. The shoulder height estimated and the percentage of bone remains are similar to other medieval findings in Silesia. Some marks of human activity according to the animal body utilization were described. The x-ray investigation of bovine finger skeleton with pathological changes was done.

The purpose of the study was to analyse the occurrence of the third trochanter and its correlation with the morphology of the human femur. The third trochanter was found in 38 of 622 (6.2%) human femora taken from 3 excavation sites. 36 of these were included in the study and were compared to the femora without the third trochanter. The bones with the third trochanter were characterised by a greater superior sagittal diameter and diaphysis platymetry index as well as a larger greater trochanter. These results suggest that the third trochanter is not a progressive morphological feature of the skeleton. Rather it is connected with an altered gluteal muscle function.

An osteometric study was carried out on 126 mandibles of male and female deer Cervus elaphus hispanicus Linnaeus, 1758 hunted between 1992 and 1998 in Sierra Morena (SE Spain). Age of animals was estimated in months using thin sections of the first lower molar (M1). Length measurements of the mandible were plotted against age. An analysis of variance was used to assess the influence of year of birth, sex, size of estates and deer abundance within each closed estate on mandible length. Results reveal a differential growth between males and females, along with differences in jaw morphology. Growth is complete at 55-56 months (4.5-5 years) in females and at 80-85 months (6.5-7 years) in males. The jaw angle, the condylar process and the coronoid process are larger in males. All measurements were larger in animals born in 1989 or earlier, and lower in animals born after 1993, revealing the strong influence of climatic conditions. A negative effect of the deer abundance on growth was also observed.

The analysis of fossil and sub-fossil bones of wild Bos primigenius Bojanus, 1827 and domestic cattle Bos taurus Linnaeus, 1758 has been handicapped by the absence of modern comparative material. The feral cattle of Amsterdam Island have lived in the wild since 1871 and have been free from artificial selection since that period. We give here a complete description of metapodial bones of this population in order to offer archaeologists a modern comparative material with patterns of sexual dimorphism and extent of intra- and inter-individual variability. This work is based on the measurements of 90 sets of 4 metapodials belonging to 48 adult females and 42 adult males. We show that the cattle of Amsterdam Island are morphologically homogeneous, thus probably forming a single breed. Sexual dimorphism is important and was studied by univariate comparisons and ordination techniques. A discriminant analysis revealed that differences in depth of diaphysis alone could correctly classify 96.7% of individuals as far as metacarpal bones are concerned, whereas differences in breath of distal end alone could correctly classify 91.1% of individuals when metatarsal bones were measured. Inclusion of two more variables increased the accuracy to 98.8% and 97.8% of individuals correctly classified for metacarpal and metatarsal bones, respectively. Allometric relations within sexes are described and should prove to be usefull to archaelogists who work with fragmentary material and wish to estimate lacking measurements. Comparisons of size and shape of metapodial bones with data from the literature reveal that the feral cattle of Amsterdam Island are smaller than aurochs and recent breeds of domestic cattle, but that they compare well with old breeds of domestic cattle and also recent breeds of Bos indicus living in Africa.
