Author(s): Simon Davis
183 animal bones and teeth from the Roman site of Redlands Farm, Stanwick belong to 14 species of mammal and bird. Most are dated to the late 4th - 5th centuries. The most common taxa are cattle (42%), sheep/goat (29%), pig (12%) and horse (5%). The cattle teeth are large and compared with the early medieval cattle teeth in this part of Northamptonshire indicate a size decrease between Roman and medieval times.
