Subject: [Bonetools] Collagen Question

Dear everybody,
do you know of any analyses of collagen content in animal bones from
prehistoric sites? There were some studies on human bones (interpreted
previously as inhumation remains, but collagen tests proved they were
cooked before deposition). Some of bones found in 'ritual' or
'sacrificial' contexts are considered as 'raw' (based on macroscopic
observations) but collagen test might prove there were 'cooked' or roasted
etc. If you know of such tests please let me know. I have not found
anything so far,
best regards
