Pinned Down in the Trenches? Revisiting environmental archaeology
A discipline called environmental archaeology emerged in the 1970s, established itself as an important part of archaeological post-excavation practice, and promptly developed an identity crisis. At regular intervals since, the discipline has tried to decide what defines it and what its overall theoretical paradigm should or could be. This article considers some of the challenges that have inhibited the development of a consensus theoretical frame…
Commensal Species
Urban areas and their surrounding environments present a challenge and an opportunity to other species. Some animal populations have adapted successfully, taking advantage of food stores and garbage as predictable trophic resources and man-made structures as secure living space. Archaeological and historical records show that this synanthropic adaptation began in prehistory, probably before the advent of agriculture, for example in some fox popul…
Livestock and animal husbandry in early medieval England
Fishing in the Adriatic at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition
Recent excavations at the site of Vela Spila, Korčula, on the Adriatic coast of Croatia have yielded a substantial assemblage of fish bone dating to the Mesolithic and Neolithic period. Few similar assemblages have been recovered to date, and zooarchaeological analysis of the material from Vela Spila provides an insight into the choices and practices associated with fishing across the crucial Mesolithic–Neolithic transition, and across a period o…
Livestock and deadstock in early medieval Europe from the North Sea to the Baltic
The relative abundance and mortality profiles of cattle, sheep and pigs from a series of 8th- to 11th-century sites across northern Europe are reviewed with the aim of identifying broad regional trends in livestock husbandry and redistribution. Although based on published NISP data derived from hand-collected material, the broad scale and coarse precision of the survey mitigates the worst effects of differential recovery. Marked local variation i…

Excavation of a burnt mound at Meur, Sanday, Orkney
In early 2005 a cluster of orthostat stones was exposed by coastal erosion at Meur, Sanday, Orkney. The excavation revealed a stone trough within the centre of an open space defined by walls. It was associated with at least one compartment and a secondary corbelled cistern with an overflow drain and was surrounded by a mound of dark soil and burnt stones. This burnt mound structure, comparable with other burnt mounds in the Northern Isles, was oc…
