Bartosiewicz, L.: Az állatcsontok eloszlási rendszere avar temetkezésekben (Animal offering distribution patterns in Avar burials) = MFMÉ 1984/1985—1. Szeged, pp. 77-95. (In Hungarian) Faunal material from the Sopronkőhida and the Szegvár—Szőlőkalja cemeteries respectively have been subjected to factor analyses in order to define relationships between the descriptors of individual burials and spatial patterning. Fundamental differences between the two cemeteries could be pinpointed in terms of the distribution of animal bones. Bartosiewicz, L.: Skeletal development in Ruminants = Acta Vet. Hung. 34/3—4, 1986, pp. 159-162. Stochastic relationships between skeletal data and carcass weight in European elk are analysed in order to facilitate the prediction of meat output from bone remains. Applied aspects of the regression equations include their use in archaeozoological research. Bartosiewicz, L. — Choyke, A.M.: A mintavételtől az adatfeldolgozásig: problémák az archeozoológiában. (From sampling to data retrieval). Problems in the archaeozoology = Múzeumi Műtárgyvédelem 12. 1983, pp. 337—344.(In Hungarian) Potential loss of archaeological information due to inaccurate sampling, recovery bias and post-excavation manipulation of the animal bone material is summarized in the light of the improvement offered by the use of computerized data recording. Bartosiewicz, L. — Choyke, A.M.: Numerical classification of cattle astragali from Pit 55 at Lovasberény—Mihályvár =Alba Regia XX. 1983, pp. 37-42. For the purposes of this paper a multivariate biométrie scheme was developed in order to detect typological differences within the set of 44 cattle astragali deposited at this Bronze Age site. Age and sex related differences between the bones could be recognized in quantitative terms, while the material seems quite homogeneous from a phenotypic point of view. Bökönyi S. — Bartosiewicz, L.: Testing the utility of quantitative methods in sex determination.»Zool. Anz. 210,1983, pp. 204-212. A stepwise mscriminant analysis was carried out on over 120 domestic hen tarsometatarsal bones from the sites of Intercisa and Tác-Gorsium. Metric differences between the two sexes and capons were contrasted against physiological information on sex-related bone development.
