contents <p>This dataset contains osteometric measurements collected on modern reindeer (<em>Rangifer tarandus</em>) skeletons curated at the Biodiversity Unit, University of Oulu (Finland). The specimens include semi-domesticated mountain reindeer (<em>R. t. tarandus</em>), wild forest reindeer (<em>R. t. fennicus</em>), and hybrids from Finland. Metadata include specimen identifiers, sex, age (when available), castration status, training history, and collection locality.</p> <p>Measurements were taken on humerus, radioulna, metacarpals, femur, tibia, and metatarsals. Osteometric variables follow the conventions described in Niinimäki <em>et al.</em> (2021) and include standard length and breadth measurements as well as pQCT-derived cross-sectional parameters (e.g. cortical area, total area, second moments of area, polar moment of area).</p> <p>The dataset was generated as part of the <em>Domestication in Action – Tracing Archaeological Markers of Human-Animal Interaction</em> project (ERC Starting Grant 756431; Academy of Finland grants 275635 and 308322), coordinated by Prof. Anna-Kaisa Salmi (University of Oulu).</p> <p>A README file is provided with detailed explanations of abbreviations, measurement definitions, and dataset structure.</p>
