THE MEDIEVAL ANIMAL BONES EXCAVATED IN 1996 FROM COSLANY STREET, NORWICH, NORFOLK
Author(s): Umberto Albarella
This report describes a small assemblage of animal bones recovered from the site of Coslany Street in Norwich. The life of the site spans from the 10th to the 19th century AD, but most bones are from the 10th to the 14th century. The majority of the bones belong to domestic animals, particularly cattle, but smaller species may be under-represented because of a recovery bias. The bones probably come from butchery and kitchen waste as well as horn-working debris. A few neonatal cattle bones indicate on-site breeding which confirms evidence from other sites in Norwich.
