EXCAVATIONS IN 1999 ON LAND ADJACENT TO WAYSIDE FARM, DEVIZES

(23%), however this reflects the higher proportion 

 of unidentifiable fragments rather than an increase 

 in the proportions of other species (Table 1 ) . The 

 highest proportion of cattle fragments was found in 

 pits (40%, principally F4225), followed by the 

 miscellaneous features (38%) and the midden (35%). 



Sheep/goat, pig and horse were found in similar 

 proportion in all feature types although again, the 

 buried soils produced the lowest proportions. Dog 

 bones were recovered from the midden, pits and 

 ditch. The single piece of red deer antler came from 

 a pit and the two fox teeth from the midden.
