Animal Bones From Iron Age Settlements in Scania, Southern Sweden : A Database From the Sheep Ahoy Project

Macheridis, Stella LU (2024) In Journal of Open Archaeology Data 12(11). p.1-7
Abstract
This paper presents the data constituting the catalogue of animal bones from Iron Age settlements in Scania, as published in the book “Animal husbandry in Iron Age Scania, with a catalogue”, and part of the Sheep Ahoy project at Lund University. The dataset consists of osteological data from zooarchaeologically examined animal bone assemblages from Iron Age settlement sites in Scania. The data has been retrieved from published or archived osteological reports or communications, and contains information on site, date, publication, number of identified specimens from the ubiquitous mammal taxa, and presence of other mammalian taxa as well as of avian, piscean, and amphibian taxa. The dataset may be of use to anyone with an archaeological... (More)
