To the best of my knowledge, no comparable increase in deer remains has been identified in the Late Roman period in the Dutch Rhineland. Roel Lauwerier might have more details than I have.

Does anyone know of any studies of increases of deer remains in the late Roman period since the 1981 paper by Annie Grant in which she suggested that such increases were stress indicators? Ian L.
