| Collection Title | Animal Bone Metrical Archive Project (ABMAP) |
| Description | ABMAP is a database of measurements of bones of domestic animals from more than 100 archaeological assemblages retrieved from excavations in southern Britain. The original database was compiled at the University of Southampton and has been migrated to the Archaeology Data Service server where it now constitutes a searchable on-line database. The database contains nearly 61,000 measurements from over 24,700 bones, the majority from sheep, goat and cattle. The species present also includes pig, horse, dog, chicken and goose. The date range of the bones is from Neolithic to modern. A search form allows users to query the database on species, element, measurement type, date and county. The amount of detail in the results may be tailored to the users requirements and may be downloaded directly to the users computer. This resource can be used as a reference of comparative data by zooarchaeological researchers and also as a body of data to use for examining size change in domestic animals from prehistory to the present day. |
