A student request - Please reply to the list and I shall forward replies. I have pointed him to our archives and the discussions therein, but if anyone has any new information to add?
Of course, how many an animal feeds depends on how much meat you are expecting people to conusme and how many of the people are full grown chaps, lasses or kids.
Ethnography of madagascan feasting anyone? I must email Parker Pearson.

Dear Jacqui,
I don't suppose you know how many people a Neolithic pig could feed
at a single meal do you? Or a cow for that matter? Or perhaps where I
might be able to look it up?
Cheers (and thanks in advance)
Ollie
