Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Presents new evidence for the seasonal occupation of the site based upon tooth development stages in dentally immature red deer (Cervus elaphus). Radiographs and visual examination of the developing mandibular molars and premolars have been used to provide an accurate indication of age at death by comparing them with modern known age specimens. Knowledge of their age when killed indicates at what time of the year humans were present at the sites. Using this technique the article suggests that there is strong evidence for winter killing of red deer at the site. The winter evidence at Thatcham may indicate presence at the site of hunters during the winter months for the express purposes of killing red deer. Alternatively the site was visited for a variety of economic and social purposes at all times of the year. | ||||||||
