Hi Suzanne,
There's Jen Harland's report on the Drogheda boat, available at:
http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/chumpal/CHPReps/CHP2009-02.pdf
That assemblage has some parallels with the Biddinghuizen one,
presumably representing preserved herring.
And you've probably already come across Smeerenburg, since it's cited by
Lauwerier & Laarman in the Biddinghuizen paper:
Seeman, M. (1986). Fish remains from Smeerenburg, a 17th century Dutch
whaling station on the west coast of Spitsbergen. In D.C. Brinkhuizen &
A.T. Clason (eds) Fish and Archaeology. British Archaeological Reports
International Series 294. pp 129-132. Oxford: Archaeopress.
Then it's not exactly what you asked for, but there's another good
example of the other side of that picture - i.e. apparent processing
waste - from Waterford:
Tourunen, A. (2008). Gutted and salted: a fish bone assemblage from John
Street, Waterford, Ireland. Archaeofauna, 17, 139-145.
Best,
David
