The Fishbones from a 13th and 14th Century Deposit from Cleeve Abbey, Somerset
Author(s): A Locker
A sample sealed by the make-up of a floor in the reredorter in Cleeve Abbey was sieved and found to contain a variety of marine fish; all these would have been eaten. The Abbey being only five miles from the coast, transportation of fresh fish would not have been a problem. As well as the fish bones rib fragments of ox, sheep, bones of domestic fowl, blackbird and shell fragments of oyster, whelk and limpet were also identified.
