ANIMAL BONES SCANNED FROM STREET CONTEXTS IN THE SIX DIALS EXCAVATIONS (SAXON SOUTHAMPTON).
Author(s): J Bourdillon
The report discusses animal bone from street contexts on the Saxon excavations at Six Dials, Southampton. There is considerable variety in the assemblages. Many street contexts have very little bone; others have large and chunky fragments; some bones are found to have been incorporated into the gravelled surface of the street itself; and there is also some straight domestic waste which had accumulated in the area. Some findings of the Six Dials Variability Study have been re-assessed, and it is hoped that a recognition of the contextual differences may help in future site formation studies.
