Abstract
Animal bones from excavations at a medieval hospital and post-medieval farmstead at St Giles by Brompton Bridge, North Yorkshire, 1989--1990
The animal bones indicate that the medieval hospital consisted of a humble, self-sufficient farming establishment and the assemblage is largely indistinguishable from that deriving from the post-medieval farmstead. Only the discovery of a chapel and burial ground, coupled with documentary evidence, enable the site to be distinguished from a simple rural domestic site. Sheep outnumbered cattle in both periods, although beef would have contributed most of the meat in the diet. Pigs and various birds are also represented but hunted species are rare.
