Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Four papers representing the reports presented to the Fourth meeting of the International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ) Fish Remains Working Group, which met at the University of York in 1987. The conference discussed material from many parts of the world and many eras, ranging in date from the early Pleistocene to the 1980s. It demonstrated both the variety of work being carried out and the growing interest in ancient fish remains. The reports demonstrate the effort being made to distinguish between assemblages of fish remains which have been deposited by people and those which occur in ancient deposits as a result of the action of other agents. To investigate this area, experiments with modern material and observations of naturally occurring fish bone assemblages are supplemented with detailed analysis of ancient and modern fish remains. The section includes the following papers. `Some remarks on seasonal dating of fish remains by means of growth ring analysis' by D C Brinkhuizen (http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue3/brink/index.html) is a critical discussion of an earlier article in which attention was drawn to the possibility of seasonal dating excavated fish remains by means of reading growth rings. `Pike (Esox lucius) in late medieval culture: from illiterate empiricism to literate traditions' by Richard C Hoffmann (http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue3/hoffmann/index.html) considers the attention medieval Europeans gave to the capture and culture of this species, revealed in different ways by extant written records. And finally, `A simple machine for bulk processing sediments' by David J Ward (http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue3/ward/index.html) in which a machine for bulk processing wet and dry matrix for the extraction of fish bone is described. Other current methods of sediment processing are also briefly reviewed. | |||||||
