Hi Zooarchers,
We are looking for fish cranial element representation data from archaeological assemblages that involve deposits of whole (but not necessarily articulated) fish heads (with or without associated vertebral column), or of mostly whole fish lacking specific known elements.
We are restricting this search to material that does not relate to either stock-fish or fish sauce. So for our purpose, examples could include the following: preserved herring, preserved mackerel, waste at dried fish production sites, entire catches that were simply buried.
We are already aware of the following:
Selsø-Vestby
Sint-Hieronymusdal
Biddinghuizen
Raversijde
Do any of you know of additional published assemblages?
Best wishes,
Suzanne
