The percentages are taken from columns 3 and 9 in appendix 1 and calculated from counts given in columns 2 and 8. See figure 5 for methods of calculating percentages. Vertical lines in bold face mark the 50% boundary in both figures; for the % NISP CA the 50% line was calculated from the highest % NISP CA thus: = 50%. tiation can be seen in %MNrs for the humems and scapula ( % and ), for the radius and third metacarpus ( and ) and, to a lesser extent, for the tibia and third metatarsal { and ). Analyses of bone preservation have shown that scapulae, pelves, metacarpals and metatarsals do have better chances of survival than major limb bones and, to a certain extent, the lower %MNrs for the leg bones reflect this. Some portions of horse limb bones are better represented than others (fig. 4). None of the scapulae were complete, but this was not surprising as the scapula consists of a sturdy distal end and a very fragile blade. Thus, the marked differences in preser- vation - or "intrabone variations" - between the distal ends and the blades of horse scapulae from PI6 are clearly related to bone density and preservation (Brain 1981, Kreutzer 1992, Lyman 1994, Lam et al. 1999). Positive correlations between intrabone variation and bone density could also be observed in the higher percentages of denser portions of some long bones - such as the proximal ulna, the distal humerus, the diaphyses of the femur - and the acetabular portion of the pelvis, and the low percentages of portions of less dense bones such as the proximal humerus and distal Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page i
