Collagen fingerprinting of archaeological bone and teeth remains from Domuztepe, South Eastern Turkey (2011, unknown): “…present morphological distinctions between sheep and goat bones (e.g. Boessneck 1969; Payne 1969; Payne 1985; Prummel and Frisch 1986), although more recent studies have both expanded and tested these earlier works (Halstead et al. 2002; Helmer 2000; Zeder and Lapham 2010; Zeder and Pilaar 2010).”
Assessing the reliability of criteria used to identify postcranial bones in sheep, Ovis, and goats, Capra (2010, unknown): “This effort has resulted in a number of methodological studies using modern reference collections, including (1) an assessment of criteria for the taxonomic identification of caprine teeth and mandibles (Zeder and Pilaar, 2009), (2) the development of metric methods for distinguishing between male a”
