Abstract
Red deer skins were treated in a variety of ways, divided into ten sam pling squares and identical regions used to compare the tensile proper ties. Samples were also aged for 6, 12 and 18 months in an accelerated ageing oven. Differences in the stiffness and elasticity of the mater ial were monitored by comparing tensile strength, percentage elongatio n at tear and Young's modulus. Upon ageing the majority of tissues det eriorated at similar rates irrespective of treatment.
