THE FISH BONES FROM BOUGH ST. GILES HOSPITAL, NORTH YORKSHIRE.
Author(s): A Locker
The fish bones form the site of the hospital are from the medeaval and post medaeval use of the site. The assemblage comprises both fresh water and marine species with a small number of fish bones being present in relatively large number of contexts. Many of the fresh water specimens are from small individuals, and it is suggested from this unrepresentative sample that marine species, such as cod, ling, haddock and rays were more important and were probably brought to the site, particularly in the early periods, salted or dried.
