In search of the 'great horse': A zooarchaeological assessment of horses from England (AD 300-1650)

Carly Ameen et al.

Summary: This paper uses the largest zooarchaeological dataset of English horse bones and a modern comparative sample of known equids to study trends in size and shape of horses throughout different time periods. The study reveals the generally small stature of medieval horses compared to earlier and later periods, and emphasizes the importance of accurately exploring skeletal shape to describe morphological characteristics and address questions of functional morphology.

The Early Modern Silesian Gallows (15th-19th Century) as an Example of Stray Animals Utilization before the Rise of Institutional Veterinary Care

Aleksander Chroszcz et al.

Summary: The history of veterinary medicine dates back to ancient times, with a lack of professional education and services resulting in other occupations such as blacksmiths, herders, and butchers taking on basic veterinary duties. Archaeological excavations and analyses of animal skeletal remains from gallows in Lower Silesia provide valuable insights into past human-animal-environment relationships.
