Hi Eugene What exactly are you after re: prehistoric. Are you looking neolithic, pre/post neolithic, Bz Age, Iron Age...? BC/AD? I know of a peacock in a viking burial...but I assume that's later than you're interested...? cheers Pam Pamela J Cross PhD researcher, Bioarchaeology Horses of Men & Gods project (AHRC, NT & MoL) Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford, BD7 1DP UK p.j.cross (at) student.bradford.ac.uk / pajx (at) aol.com http://www.barc.brad.ac.uk/resstud_Cross.php http://bradford.academia.edu/PamCross In a message dated 11/09/2013 14:01:43 GMT Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Hi again, I would like to expand my original query to ANY prehistoric sites. To reiterate, I'm looking for data concerning the presence of unusual species (that is, species found outside of their normal range of distribution) in faunal assemblages, be them contemporary with the rest of the assemblage or intrusive. References would especially be appreciated.
