Capreolus capreolus (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — NISP =11; MNI =3.
1989-1992 sample: 1 left i3; 1 left humerus; 1 radius; 1 left ulna; 1 right femur; 1 femur; 1 right tibia; 1 right talus; 3 metatarsals III-IV.
DESCRIPTION
Roe deer is represented by 11 remains (including one isolated tooth), which correspond to three adult individuals. Appendicular skeleton is not sufficiently abundant and well preserved to allow any taxonomic identification. However, the size and the general morphology of metatarsals are typical of Capreolus (i.e. presence of a narrow longitudinal dorsal gutter; proximal epiphysis distinct from other comparable small ungulate species). The roe deer C. c. suessenbornensis has been attested in Europe (e.g., Süssenborn) since the Middle Pleistocene, and it became abundant with C. c. capreolus during the Cromerian stage. This latter subspecies has been widespread in Europe from the late Pleistocene until today ( Kurtén 1968; Delpech & Guérin in Guérin & Patou-Mathis 1996).
