Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Recent re-analysis of the zooarchaeological assemblage from Westward House, near Fishbourne Roman Palace, has identified butchered brown bear (Ursus arctos) remains. Cut marks across the first phalanx indicate that the animal had been skinned. This finding is significant, as literary and zooarchaeological evidence for brown bear in the Roman period indicates that the animal was usually exploited for entertainment purposes; evidence for the skinning of the animal is rare. | |||||||||
