The aging of Wolff's "law": ontogeny and responses to mechanical loading in cortical bone. (2004, background): “…model of the periosteal and endosteal contours of the bone in question; otherwise, measures of BMD and BMC may not accurately reflect the actual density (g/cm3) or the bending strength of the bone (Lam et al., 1998, 2003; Sievänen et al., 1998; Haapasalo et al., 2000; Kardinaal et al., 2000).”
Fish bone chemistry and ultrastructure: implications for taphonomy and stable isotope analysis (2011, methodology): “Within the context of the preservation of archaeological bone, the density of bone samples has been studied in a number of taxa and utilized as an explanation for patterns of skeletal element representation (reviewed by Lam et al., 2003; Lam and Pearson, 2005; Lyman, 1984).”
Gazelle bone fat processing in the Levantine Epipalaeolithic (2005, background): “’s [53] group C) are preferred here since they provide the most accurate measures of a bone’s external shape, yet they more closely match the values [77] used in our forthcoming analysis of hare density since they also do not account for long bone internal cavities (Lam et al.”
