ANIMAL BONES FROM WRAYSBURY, BERKS.
Author(s): J P Coy
Excavations at this Saxon settlement site 2km across the River Thames from Old Windsor produced both bones from conventional retrieval and an enormous sample of tiny fragments from the intensive sieving programme. There were also a number of whole animal burials probably not contemporary with the settlement. In addition to the description of the Saxon bones found this report attempts to analyse the usefulness and efficiency of the sieving programme and includes a detailed report on the microfauna retrieved, especially the remains of small fish. Throughout the account detailed comparisons are made with the mid-Saxon settlement at Southampton (Hamwic).
