Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The animal bone assemblage is apparently a mixture of domestic and commercial/industrial refuse and therefore of little value in assessing the inhabitants' dietary preference for meats. The samples from medieval levels are direct evidence of an economy based on cattle and sheep. Attention is drawn to the apparent under-exploitation of pig, lesser game (hare and wild fowl) and greater game (deer). The majority of shellfish were marine oysters followed by marine mussels. Plant remains are dominated by arable and wasteland weeds. Cereals, brassicas and flax were identified. | ||
