An osseous head of a roebuck (without the mandible) probably 3 year old, of unknown origin, was CT‐scanned (CIMOP, Siemens 64 bars) in a systematical manner. The encumbrancy measurements were 19 cm long, 9 cm wide and 9 cm high. The cross‐sections were in the three perpendicular planes. The horizontal plane of reference had been chosen as the orbito‐meatal one. The plane of acquisition was the frontal one The views were interesting on the descriptive and topographical aspects. The reconstructions brougth interesting details and also the possibility to move the sample without any hand manipulation. Some measurements of density were performed on the vertical horns (19 cm long).
