Abstract
Systematic, inexpensive, nonlaborious aging techniques have been perfected by wildlife biologists which are applicable for archaeologically obtained white-tailed deer remains. The techniques not only provide age structure information, but also indicate time of death of the deer. A modification of Ransom’s (1966) thin sectioning technique for first molars and incisors is described and illustrated with a pilot study of deer teeth from the Mellor site, a central Missouri, Middle Woodland settlement.
