Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Applies zooarchaeological evidence from Iron Age and Roman sites in South-East Britain to the continuing debate over culture contact and change following the Roman invasion. Evidence from Heybridge in Essex indicates that there were two stages of livestock development. It is suggested that these may reflect the import of new breeding stock into Britain. Differences between the rate of livestock development at this rural site and the nearby urban centre of Colchester are argued to possibly indicate differing mechanisms of animal supply between the two sites. The appearance of very large cattle in Late Roman contexts at Boreham in Essex is taken to suggest that improvement of animals continued throughout the Roman occupation and was not merely an initial response to new economic and administrative demands. The biometrical evidence from these three sites is compared with evidence from elsewhere in Europe: the development of livestock during the Roman Period is argued to be complex and varied. The impetus and ideology behind the changes in animal husbandry following the Roman invasion in Britain are explored. | ||||||||||
