Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The animal bone came from 42 St Paul Street and the Queen Street midden area. Beef was the major source of meat and hides may have been the primary product of cattle raising. Mutton, goat and pig flesh were also eaten but venison was not in plentiful supply. Bird and fish were also consumed. Prime lamb and young mutton were consumed in greater proportions at St Paul Street as was younger beef. Carcass analysis suggests that beef joints or cuts of beef and mutton were consumed at this site. At Queen Street low meat yield bones and fish remains were more frequent. This may reflect the close proximity of this site to the fish and meat markets. | ||||
