I have just found house mice in Potterne report (136 bits of them). Late
Bronze Age, found in every level, also mentioned is the house mouse identified
by Turk at Nour Nour in the Scillies - though doubt cast upon this by Grigson
1981, 29 (in Locker 107, in Lawson, Potterne 2000). Not radiocarbon dated
though.
Its the most abundant small mammal in the midden!
