Cranial defects in remains of 17th-century geese from Brandenburg, Germany
OBJECTIVE: To assess the etiology of cranial variation noted in domestic geese from a 17th-century archaeological site in Flecken Zechlin, Brandenburg, Germany. MATERIALS: Four skulls from domestic geese. METHODS: Macroscopic analysis and review of relevant literature. RESULTS: Defects in the goose crania are similar to those occurring in crested ducks but differ from those associated with crested chicken in location and appearance. There are no …
Subsistence in the Late Bronze Age of the northern Black Sea region
Arheozoološki podaci s lokaliteta Taraklija-Gajdabul pružili su dodatne uvide u način života u sjevernom crnomorskom regionu tokom kasnog bronzanog doba. Čini se da dva modela koja su predložili Geršković i Sava mogu postojati paralelno – prvi je primjeren južnom dijelu regije (travnata stepa), dok je drugi primjeren sjevernom dijelu regije (šumska stepa). Vegetacija i klima u ovom regionu izgleda da imaju ključan utjecaj na proporcije glavnih vr…
The economic importance and mobility of horses in the Roman Netherlands
Previous research has suggested that horse breeding, with the army as the intended buyer, was an important part of the local agrarian economy in the Roman Dutch eastern river area. Since it is very difficult to trace the origins of horses by traditional archaeozoological methods, strontium isotope analysis was used to investigate the origins of horses in both military and rural sites. These new data are integrated with data on horse frequencies a…
Cattle husbandry in the Iron Age and Roman Netherlands
Cattle are the dominant species in most archaeological sites in the Netherlands during the Iron Age and Roman period. However, there are differences in the relative importance of cattle and in how cattle were managed. The aim of this paper is to find out which changes in cattle husbandry occurred between the Iron Age and Roman period, and whether these changes are related to introduced Roman practices. For this study, the Netherlands was divided …
Evidence of the intentional use of black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) in the Roman Netherlands
The remains of black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) are relatively common at archaeological sites as it grows naturally around settlements in north-western Europe. All parts of the plant may be used as a medicine or a narcotic but its natural prevalence in built environments makes it difficult to interpret any intentionality behind its presence in the archaeological record. Evidence of the deliberate collection and use of black henbane seeds in the R…
Cremated animal remains and shattered pottery. Rare ritual deposits from the Middle to Late Bronze Age at Aalst – Siesegemkouter (Belgium)
Archaeological research at Aalst – Siesegemkouter revealed several pits within a Middle to Late Bronze Age settlement. Most of them hardly contained any artefacts, but one exception showed a structured stratigraphy with an abundance of finds, including a large amount of shattered pottery, charcoal and calcined animal bone. The study of this assemblage, and comparison with two other pits showing similarities, provides strong indications of a closi…

Innovation and Intensification
This paper examines the role of cattle in the Roman economy acrossthe region of the river Rhine (the Netherlands, western and south-western Germany, eastern France, and northern and eastern Switzerland). This large region marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Taxonomic data (over 606,000 animal remains – cattle, sheep/goat and pig) are considered, and biometrical data (nearly 15,000 cattle bone measurements) are analysed through the l…
Mobility of cattle in the Iron Age and Roman Netherlands
87Sr/86Sr isotope analysis was performed on 45 cattle teeth, 5 sheep/goat teeth and 2 pig teeth from two archaeological sites in the Netherlands, dating to the Iron Age and Roman period. This makes it one of the largest strontium isotope projects focusing on animals from the Netherlands - to date. An integrated approach was taken, combining the strontium results with those from archaeology and zooarchaeology. Mobility of cattle in the Iron Age is…
Animals and People in the Netherlands’ Past
More than fifty years ago, Anneke T. Clason published the first English-language archaeozoological study on Dutch faunal assemblages. Inspired by the anniversary of this landmark publication, this paper presents a status overview of Dutch archaeozoology organized in twelve themes (e.g. rituals, Mesolithic-Neolithic transition, medieval period). Our aim is to provide a guide to archaeozoological questions pertaining to the Netherlands and open a w…
Animals and Animal Husbandry
This chapter gives a short overview of animal husbandry in Iron Age Europe. In this largely agrarian society, people depended on animals for food, transport, and labour. Although animal husbandry shows a high degree of variety, related to differences in climate, geography, and the complexity of society, broad geographical patterns are apparent in the proportions of different species, with cattle dominant on most sites in north-western Europe and …
Mind the Gap Between Higher Education and the Labour Market for Students with a Disability in the Netherlands
The transition from higher education to the labour market is experienced as difficult by students with a disability. This gap between higher education and the labour market has tangible consequences for the participation of (young) people with a disability. Research shows that these students have a higher unemployment rate. This article addresses this gap by studying existing research data and by exploring experiences of students with a disabilit…
Developments in Animal Husbandry and Food Supply in Roman Germania Inferior
The Roman province of Germania Inferior is characterized geographically by the river Rhine—the border of the Empire—and the forts along it. From the north-west to the south-east, there are significant differences in landscape and type of rural habitation. Whether these differences are also noticeable in animal husbandry forms the subject of this article. Are there any differences in species proportions and slaughter ages between the western and e…
Carnem et circenses – consumption of animals and their products in Roman urban and military sites in two regions in the northwestern provinces
This paper investigates the consumption of animals and their products in the northwestern provinces of the Roman Empire. A regional approach was used, comparing two research areas: the northern part of modern Switzerland and the central part of the modern Netherlands. These two regions have different histories, backgrounds and landscapes. Our aim was to find out whether these different histories and backgrounds led to different consumption patter…

Land Use and the Agrarian Economy in the Roman Dutch River Area
This article aims to reconstruct agrarian land use for a rural community in the Roman frontier zone in the Netherlands. The Dutch River Area was characterised by a dynamic landscape. Rivers regularly flooded the surrounding low-lying land. Only the higher streamridges provided suitable places for habitation and arable agriculture. The limitations of the landscape dictated to a large extent both the types and quantities of crops and animals that c…

The great auk (Pinguinus impennis) in the Netherlands during the Roman period
Bones of the great auk (Pinguinus impennis) have been found in four archaeological sites in the Netherlands in recent years. These sites all date to the early Roman period. The great auk is believed never to have been a breeding bird in the Netherlands, which makes the presence of the bones remarkable. The history and ecology of the great aukare outlined. Some possible reasons are discussed for the presence of the great auk in Dutch waters during…
De nederzetting te Naaldwijk II
Aan de Zuidweg, even ten zuiden van de dorpskern van Naaldwijk, is een groot aantal sporen en vondsten uit de Romeinse tijd en de Middeleeuwen te voorschijn gekomen. De onderzoekslocatie ligt op een steenworp afstand van de opgravingen van Jan Hendrik Holwerda, die in de jaren 30 van de vorige eeuw al uitgebreid onderzoek deed naar de restanten van wat hij dacht een inheems-Romeinse nederzetting. Holwerda’s vermoedens klopten gedeeltelijk, want n…
