Monastic diet in Late Antique Egypt
Contemporary literature suggests that meat and fish were not common fare of monastic communities in Egypt during the Late Antique Period (AD 330 to 642). A sizeable assemblage of fishbone from the Monastery at Kom el-Nana has allowed, in conjunction with other zooarchaeological material, a reappraisal of this assumption. In addition, comparative data from the adjacent Pharaonic site at Tell el-Amarna have highlighted distinct cultural differences…
On the possible ritual marking of a young XVIIIth dynasty pig skull from Tell el‐Amarna, Middle Egypt
A young pig skull, excavated from an ancient Egyptian village near Tell el‐Amarna, Middle Egypt, presents a number of unusual features which are suggestive of ante‐mortem human intervention with subsequent localised infection of the bone. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Analysis of Size Changes and Incremental Growth Structures in African Catfish Synodontis schall(schall) from Tell el-Amarna, Middle Egypt
Killing cats in the Medieval Period. An unusual episode in the history of Cambridge, England
The partial skeletons of 79 medieval cats were recovered from a well in Cambridge, England. The animals had been killed by having their throats cut and were subsequently skinned and dismembered for consumption by the inhabitants of the town. A metrical study revealed the small stature of the cats in comparison with those from medieval Colchester and late medieval and early post-medieval Norwich, while an allometric analysis showed that the build …
The conundrum of castration in the archaeological record
Current methods of sexing archaeological cattle bones, in particular the metapodials, are based upon past research into contemporary breeds and this work embraces a limited sample size, spread across a vast geographical area. Although the separation of cows and bulls is not in question, there appears a great deal of subjectivity in the literature concerning the identification of castrated beasts.Living bone is in a dynamic state of equilibrium wi…
An Early Saxon Settlement within the Romano-British Small Town at Heybridge, Essex
FIVE GRUBENHAUSER and a probable ground level building sited within the Romano-British small town at Heybridge are described. The associated Saxon pottery suggests that the settlement belongs to the first half of the 5th century, and there is evidence that late Romano-British pottery was in contemporary use. It is suggested that the Saxon settlers were involved either economically or militarily in the life of the late Roman town. The significance…
