DATASET Mary Prendergast.

Age data, following Silver (1969), from non-intrusive postcranial remains of domesticates at Gileodabeshta 2, Units 4 and 5 combined. Proximal metapodials and distal phalanges are excluded since these fused in the womb, and no unfused specimens were documented. I = infant; I/J = infant or juvenile; J = juvenile; J/A+ = juvenile or adult or older; A+ = adult or older
