Food, Craft and Status in Medieval Winchester: the Plant and Animal Remains from the Suburbs and City Defences

edited by D.J. Serjeantson and H. Rees

This report publishes and analyses medieval environmental evidence from excavations which took place in the 70s and 80s in extra-mural Winchester. The reports on the faunal remains are particularly full and important ranging from the 10th to the 17th centuries and including a detailed specialist examination of the pathology of the sheep bones. In their discussion of the data the authors draw conclusions about diet and social status, and the chronological spread of the data enables analysis of the changing urban economy. Also stressed is the highly variable nature of the different depositions under study, and thus the dangers inherent in drawing conlusions about urban conditions from small datasets. 276p b/w figs (Winchester Museums 2009)
