The Origins of Bear-Baiting
Bear-baiting, the act of setting dogs on tethered bears to fight, was an important social and economic activity in early modern England. It has been suggested that baiting was practiced in Western Europe during the Middle Ages, but the evidence for such claims has largely been restricted to images of bears in manuscript marginalia. For the first time, this article presents an interdisciplinary overview of the literary, archival, archaeological, a…
Bear journeys in early modern England
This article offers unprecedented insight into the domestic movements of early modern commercial entertainment producers based on fresh archival and archaeological details about bears and bearwards, centring on a surviving two-month journey record. We plot roadways taken and the lengths and times via GIS mapping, offering a fresh spatial humanities methodology to explore commercial life on the road and its consequences. Together, these sources an…
What does a bear-baiting assemblage look like? Interdisciplinary analysis of an Early Modern 'sport
Bear baiting was a popular form of entertainment in Shakespearean England that was staged across the country but formalised in the Early Modern entertainment hub on Bankside, London. Here, the authors bring together zooarchaeological, stable isotope and archival evidence in the examination of faunal assemblages from nine archaeological sites on Bankside to elucidate characteristics indicative of bear baiting. In doing so, they present criteria fo…
Why so high?’ Examining discrepancies between the Sr biosphere map and archaeological tooth data from the Peak District, England
The analysis of 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in human and nonhuman tooth enamel is used worldwide for archaeological and forensic purposes to establish if an individual is likely to have grown up in the area from which their remains were excavated. The English Peak District has produced an unusually high proportion of archaeological humans who, based on Sr isotope ratios, appear to have come from elsewhere. We have used modern plant samples from the …
Rural Life, Roman Ways? Examination of Late Iron Age to Late Romano-British Burial Practice and Mobility at Dog Hole Cave, Cumbria
The scarcity of Romano-British human remains from north-west England has hindered understanding of burial practice in this region. Here, we report on the excavation of human and non-human animal remains 1 and material culture from Dog Hole Cave, Haverbrack. Foetal and neonatal infants had been interred alongside a horse burial and puppies, lambs, calves and piglets in the very latest Iron Age to early Romano-British period, while the mid- to late…

Where are the Non-Human Bog Bodies
We draw attention to the rarity of non-human bog bodies, reviewing the small number from Britain and Ireland of which we are aware. We use this absence to argue that there is more to becoming a bog body than merely dying on a bog (or falling into a bog pool). Given the potential importance of non-human bog bodies to the interpretation of the human remains we stress the importance of the publication of any examples
Medieval big cat remains from the Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London
Big cats have been regarded as a symbol of power in different cultures throughout history. Here we present a study of the only known big cat remains from the Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London. They were excavated in 1937 but have not previously been published. Our radiocarbon dating has established that they range in date from the 13th-17th centuries, making them the earliest post-Pleistocene big cat remains in Britain. We provide a descript…
