Dear Ian,
Concerning Roman cattle you may be interested in this paper that has just been
published:
Albarella U., Johnstone C. & Vickers, K. 2008. The development of animal
husbandry from the Late Iron Age to the end of the Roman period: a case study
from South-East Britain. Journal of Archaeological Science 35, 1828-48.
I will send you separately a pdf.
The raw data discussed in that paper can be found in the following:
Albarella U. 1997 . The Roman mammal and bird bones excavated in 1994 from Great
Holts Farm, Boreham , Essex. AML report 9/97
Johnstone, C., Albarella, U., 2002. The Late Iron Age and Romano-British
Mammal and Bird Bone Assemblage from Elms Farm, Heybridge, Essex
(Site Code: HYEF93e95). Centre for Archaeology Report 45/2002.
English Heritage, Portsmouth.
Luff, R.M., 1993. Animal bones from excavations in Colchester, 1971-85.

I should also be able to provide you my data in an electronic format if you are

Cheers,
Umberto
