Hello all, To bring you all up to date, having told of my early romano-british right femora in a pit, I now have a strange channel deposit at the same site, material lying on top of a causeway that has a distinct bias towards the right. For example - 30 right humerus (8 left), 21 R radius (8L), 20 R metacarpal (8L), 17 R femur (3L), 16 R MT (5L) - ok so we have equal amount of left and right jaws (total of 7 , and tibia and slightly more ulna and pelvis (both samples under 5 fragments). Still seems fairly strange to me. Any ideas, suggestions, musings, ideas - any other deposits of bone within channels in the Iron Age - I am sure there are some but blank mind today. All I can think of is Fiskerton, Lincolnshire, soon to be published but little stratigraphy, material thrown off a causeway - nothing as noticable as this though in terms of elements. Yours in hope. jacqui Jacqui Mulville Lecturer in Bioarchaeology School of History and Archaeology Cardiff University Cardiff CF10 3XU 02920 874247
