Animal Husbandry Regimes in Iron Age Britain: A comparative study of faunal assemblages from British Iron Age sites: A comparative study of faunal assemblages from British Iron Age sites

The aim of this book is to further our understanding of Iron Age animal husbandry regimes in Britain by undertaking a comparative study of faunal assemblages. A uniform methodology for comparing existing faunal data was developed. This will allow recognition of intra- and inter-regional patterns among faunal assemblages.
