The sixth talk of our online series 'Behind the Scenes: Analysing Anglo-Saxon Rendlesham'.
Animals were at the centre of Anglo-Saxon culture, from noble horses to hunting dogs to the ordinary pigs and chickens, the animals excavated at Rendlesham would have not only been used for survival but were also symbols of wealth and power. Zooarchaeological evidence can answer some of the big questions surrounding land use, husbandry, and exchange, as well as help us to understand the beliefs and daily lives of the people living at Rendlesham. This talk will outline some of the principles and methods of zooarchaeological analysis and explain what they can tell us about the animal bone excavated at Rendlesham.
This online series is in partnership with two projects: Rendlesham Revealed led by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund; and Lordship and Landscape led by Christopher Scull and funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
