Abstract:		 OYSTER SHELL ASSESSMENT REPORT BARTON FARM WINCHESTERThe methodology for the assessment follows that of Winder (2011) which defines both the range of sizes and the degree of marine infestation for each shell, as well as other diagnostic shell features within the context. Only shells with a complete hinge were assessed. Incomplete shells and fragments were counted, weighed and then discarded In conclusion it is likely that the oyster shells from both the Romano-British period and the Hessian camp were sourced from oyster beds at the mouth of the river Test at Southampton Water or along the Solent where estuarine conditions exist along with mud and sand. The site at Barton Farm is only some 17 miles from the Solent and the journey would be easily achieved in a day. With the limited amount of shell recovered from both periods it suggests that oysters and other marine species were only a very small part of the diet. With such small samples conclusions should be considered as tentative. Further analysis, including more detailed measurement, should be considered if larger deposits of shells are excavated in the future.
