Hi
As part of a project for Univ of Bristol, I am investigating
micro-vertebrate remains from a ditch-fill at Puxton, North
Somerset (excavated by Steve Rippon, Univ of Exeter). The
fauna and sheer volume of material leads me to suspect the
samples are remains of owl or raptor kills.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any references to owl
pellets or suspected remains of owl pellets turning up in
archaeological excavations. My background is
zoology/palaeo so all my refs so far are too young or too
old!
Any info gratefully received
Cheers
