Potterne 1982-5: Animal Husbandry in Late Prehistoric Wiltshire

by Andrew Lawson

This report describes a 3.5 ha organically rich midden of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date. The huge quantities of animal bone and discarded pottery and artefacts indicates the presence of a cattle farming unit, the deposit itself forming over a period of some 500 years. The volume contains important environmental reports focusing on a large mineralised seed assemblage.(Wessex Archaeology Report 17, 2000)
