Umberto Albarella and Sebastian Payne are pleased to announce the launch
of a new archive of interest to zooarchaeologists. 'Pig bone and tooth
measurements from Durrington Walls'
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/projArch/pigs_durham_2004/
The database provides data on a large sample of well-preserved teeth and
bones from the late Neolithic site of Durrington Walls (Wiltshire,
southern England). The aim of compiling the database was to build up a
data set that can be of great use as a comparative baseline for other
European material and would address the problem that small samples of
pig measurements are not particularly meaningful if analysed in
isolation. The measurements presented in this database derive from
excavations carried out in 1966-67 (Wainwright and Longworth, 1971) and
are in support of a forthcoming paper by Umberto Albarella and Sebastian
Payne.
