Dear Zooarch
A question not strictly zooarchaeological but related to animals none-the-less;
does anybody know of any archaeological evidence of brands for marking
animals with from Iron Age or Roman Britain, or even North-West Europe from
that time? There's historical evidence from southern Europe in Virgil and
Strabo for example, but after scouring many reports in vain I've yet to see
anything archaeological. I'm just wondering if anyone knows, or has any
IA/Rom chums who would know, of the presence of such evidence.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
Cheers,
Martyn Allen
