The Economy of an Early Anglo-Saxon Village: Zooarchaeological Research at West Stow
English history can be said to begin with the Adventus Saxonum or the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons beginning in the 5th century a.d. The Saxon conquests were temporarily stemmed by a British victory at a place called Mons Bandoncus, but the peace was to be only temporary. In 1965 Stanley West, County Archaeological Officer for Suffolk in eastern England, began the first of eight seasons of excavations at the early Anglo-Saxon village of West Stow.…
A First Look at Equid 'Idols' From Tepecik-Ciftlik, Southern Cappadocia, Turkey
Excavation at the Pre-Pottery Neolithic, Pottery Neolithic, and Early Chalcolithic site of Tepecik-Çiftlik in the Niğde region of Southern Cappadocia, Turkey have been conducted since 2000 under the direction of Professor Erhan Biçakçi of Istanbul University. The excavations have yielded a rich assemblage of worked bone objects dating to the Neolithic and Chalcolithic Periods. One of the striking features of the assemblage is the presence of appr…

Livestock Changes at the Beginning and End of the Roman Period in Britain: Issues of Acculturation, Adaptation, and ‘Improvement
This article reviews aspects of the development of animal husbandry in Roman Britain, focusing in particular on the Iron Age/Roman and Roman/early medieval transitions. By analysing the two chronological extremes of the period of Roman influence in Britain we try to identify the core characteristics of Romano-British husbandry by using case studies, in particular from south-eastern Britain, investigated from the perspective of the butchery and mo…

Zooarchaeology inOceania: An overview
This paper explores several main themes in the zooarchaeology of Oceania, including the question of Pleistocene “overkill” and its relationship to island biogeography, human impacts on the indigenous faunal communities of Remote Oceania, the spread of the Pacific faunal package – pigs, dogs, chickens and the Pacific rat – throughout Oceania, and the impact of European colonialism on traditional hunting, foraging, fishing and animal husbandry regi…

Animal husbandry and farming in East Anglia from the 5th to the 10th centuries CE
Performance, place and power at Dún Ailinne, a ceremonial site of the Irish Iron Age
Dún Ailinne is one of the major ceremonial sites of the Irish Iron Age (600 bce–ce 400), a time when society was becoming increasingly centralized. We argue that these sites were a focus for the process of centralization, facilitated by performance though the site’s construction and use. Physical movement in the context of ritual has been shown to affect the perception of social relationships. These would have been experienced through performance…
A Note on the Role of Dogs in Anglo‐Saxon Society: Evidence from East Anglia
This paper examines the roles that dogs played in Anglo-Saxon (420–1066 CE) society in East Anglia, drawing on data from the Late Roman site of Icklingham and the Anglo-Saxon sites of West Stow, Brandon and Ipswich in Suffolk, England. The archaeological context of these dog finds is described, along with zooarchaeological data on dog sizes, ages at death and paleopathology. The data indicate that Early and Middle Anglo-Saxon dogs are less varied…

Agricultural innovation and socio-economic change in early medieval Europe: Evidence from Britain and France
Historical and archaeological data suggest that the Middle Saxon period (c. 650–850 ce) in eastern England was an era of substantial social, political and economic change. This paper argues that it was also a period of substantial innovation in animal husbandry practices. Zooarchaeological data demonstrate a shift from a non-specialized system designed to meet local subsistence needs to more specialized animal husbandry, focused on specific anima…

Production and consumption in an early complex society: Animal use in Middle Saxon East Anglia
This paper examines the relationships between urban consumers and rural producers of animal products during the period when the earliest post‐Roman urban sites first appear in eastern England. The mammal and bird faunas from a Middle Saxon emporium (Ipswich), two Middle Saxon rural sites (Brandon and Wicken Bonhunt) and an Early Anglo‐Saxon village (West Stow) are examined in order to determine how early urban sites were supplied with animal prod…

Communal Hunting in the Natufian of the Southern Levant: The Social and Economic Implications
The Natufian culture of Palestine has been seen as an important state in the progression from hunting and gathering to food production. Henry (1875) first suggested that the Natufians used traps or surrounds to hunt gazelles collectively. This paper uses Faunal data from the site of Salibiya I in the lower Jordan valley to suggest that the Natufians practiced communal hunting of the mountain gazelle (Gazella, gazella). Ethnographic studies sugges…

A Note on the First Season of Excavation at the Late Natufian Site of Salibiya I, Jordan Valley
Les premières fouilles sur le gisement de Salibiya I (Basse Vallée du Jourdain) ont révélé près d'un mètre de dépôts anthropiques et deux couches natoufiennes. L'industrie lithique associée permet de placer ce site sur l'horizon récent du Natoufien. On n'a pas trouvé de vestiges de structures, mais faunes et charbons sont particulièrement bien conservés

Sheep, Horses, Swine, and Kine: A Zooarchaeological Perspective on the Anglo-Saxon Settlement of England
West Stow is an early Anglo-Saxon settlement site located on the banks of the River Lark in eastern England, occupied between the 5th and 7th centuries A.C. An extensive series of excavations at West Stow yielded an exceptionally well-preserved vertebrate faunal assemblage of over 180,000 bones and fragments that can inform us about the animal husbandry practices of the earliest Anglo-Saxon settlers in England.Analysis of the West Stow fauna indi…
