FISH REMAINS FROM EXCAVATIONS AT MILDENHALL, SUFFOLK SITE 165.
Author(s): A K G Jones
An assemblage of fish bones recovered by sieving samples of Bronze Age archaeological deposits on 1mm aperture sieves was dominated by remains of the common three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus. Other fishes present at the site were pike, Esox lucius, a cyprinid, ?burbot, ?Lota lota and ?herring, Clupea harengus. The remains were not typical of those recovered from humn occupation sites and the majority ofbones were probably not deposited as a result of human activity.
