Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight: The Mammal and Bird Bone from the 2006 and 2008 Evaluations
Author(s): Gemma Ayton
Two small scale evaluations were undertaken in the south-west quadrant of Carisbrooke Castle in 2006 and 2008 in advance of the planned installation of a new garden. Nearly 1,000 fragments of identifiable mammal and bird bone from both domestic and wild species were recovered from features dating from the 11th to the 18th century. The assemblage has been considered alongside information obtained from previous excavations and the results have shed light on the status of the castle and its inhabitants during the medieval and post-medieval periods.
