ANIMAL BONE FROM SITES A & C AT WILSFORD.
Author(s): Simon Davis
59 fragments of bones and teeth from two Bronze Age barrows were studied. The species identified in both barrows A and C are cattle, caprine (probably sheep only); in barrow A, horse/pony and dog; and in barrow C,?red deer and ?pig. Cattle remains are most common, followed by those of sheep and horse/pony. Species frequencies probably reflect the methods used to recoverfaunal remains. The anteroposterior crown lengths of two cattle lower third molar teeth measure 39.6 and 39.4mm - equivalent to large British Bronze Age cattle. Measurements of several bones and teeth are provided. The enamel folds of a well preserved horse/pony upper (?third) premolar tooth are figured.
