Crib‐biting is a common 'stable vice' among horses, which seems directly linked to boredom and prolonged inactive confinement. It wears down the incisor teeth in a characteristic way. Some examples from one Middle and one Upper Palaeolithic site in France are presented in this preliminary paper, which reports on research that is still under way. As the practice is not thought to occur in animals at liberty, the presence of this tooth‐wear in archaeological collections may constitute a reliable proof of tethering, and thus is of interest not only to the Palaeolithic but also to all later periods
