Hello Zooarcher! Can anyone point me in the direction of articles regarding the composition of cattlebones from Medieval military garrisons? For example, would one expect a lack of slaughter waste compare to food waste? Is it usual that garrisons bred their own cattle? If the animals were reared on the surrounding farms why not slaughter them there and just bring in meat-rich parts? Thanks in advance, Ylva Telldahl ____________________________________________ Osteoarchaeological Research Laboratory Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies Lilla Frescativägen 7 Stockholm University 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden phone: + 46 8 16 46 19 mobile: 46 70 237 53 07 fax: + 46 8 16 44 76 http://www.archaeology.su.se/pub/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1878&a=7261
