Hi Oxbow Archaeologists,
Just a quick note – Terry Martin identified the bone we found in Feature 4 on
Saturday. He wrote:
“The pictures are very clear. You have the right tibiotarsus of a chicken,
Gallus gallus.” (see Photo 1 and
Photo 2 in the photo gallery below)
It’s looking like the Pontons had most domestic farmyard animals at the site –
we’ve now found pig, cow, and chicken. We don’t have sheep/goat from the Ponton
site yet, but Terry has identified a sheep/goat bone at the Cater site across
the river!
