Fig. 61. Piece of similar plate of red ware, painted above with con- 

 ventional designs. The underside is roughly glazed with curious weather- 

 ing. The colour is white, while the centre within the stand is light yellow

 over the base within the stand.

 ware, painted and glazed on the outside with a fine white glaze on the 

 inside.

It is difficult to explain the constant occurrence of the 

 bones of horse among those of other domestic animals and in 

 precisely the same condition except on the supposition that 

 the horse was used for food. 



The cattle were all of the small modified Bos longifrons 

 type. 



One could not but remark the small size of the calves that 

 had apparently been used for food. Many of the jaws found 

 were smaller than those of the sheep. This quite agrees with 

 the inference drawn from other excavations that the small 

 degenerate breed founded on Bos longifrons and reverting to it 

 after the withdrawal of Roman protection, lasted down to quite 

 late times as the common animal used for food. 



The sheep were of the old horned breed. 



Oysters and mussels occurred sporadically, and this makes 

 one inclined to refer their presence to accident, as the shells of
