Ideology (as reflected in material culture and... Read More about How the West was lost: a reconsideration of agricultural origins in Britain, Ireland and southern Scandinavia.

Short- and long-term foraging and foddering strategies of domesticated animals from Qasr Ibrim, Egypt (2004)
Journal Article
Copley, M., Jim, S., Jones, V., Rose, P., Clapham, A., Edwards, D., …Evershed, R. (2004). Short- and long-term foraging and foddering strategies of domesticated animals from Qasr Ibrim, Egypt. Journal of Archaeological Science, 31(9), 1273-1286. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2004.02.006

Various biomolecular components preserved in domesticated animal bones recovered from the Nubian site of Qasr Ibrim are used for dietary reconstruction of their foddering and foraging behaviours. Utilising models of the biochemical correlations with... Read More about Short- and long-term foraging and foddering strategies of domesticated animals from Qasr Ibrim, Egypt.

Iron Age cultigen?: experimental return rates for fat hen (Chenopodium album L.) (2002)
Journal Article
Stokes, P., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2002). Iron Age cultigen?: experimental return rates for fat hen (Chenopodium album L.). Environmental Archaeology, 7, 95-99

Archaeological finds of fat hen (Chenopodium album L.) from later prehistoric sites in Europe indicate that the plant was deliberately collected, perhaps even cultivated. Experiments are described involving the collection and processing of the plant,... Read More about Iron Age cultigen?: experimental return rates for fat hen (Chenopodium album L.).

Derivation and application of a Food Utility Index (FUI) for European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.) (2002)
Journal Article
Rowley-Conwy, P., Halstead, P., & Collins, P. (2002). Derivation and application of a Food Utility Index (FUI) for European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.). Environmental Archaeology, 7, 77-87

A Food Utility Index (FUI) is presented for European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.), derived from the experimental butchery of two individuals of differing ages. The results differ from FUIs produced for other species because of the different conformation...
