The Introduction of Fallow Deer to Britain: A Zooarchaeological Perspective

Naomi Sykes

Environmental Archaeology, 2004, vol. 9, issue 1, 75-83

Abstract: Ambiguous historical evidence, misidentifications, contextual disturbance, as well as ancient trade in antler and other skeletal elements, have all confused our understanding of the past distribution and spread of European fallow deer (Vama dama). In order to determine the date and source of their introduction to Britain, this paper sets out to examine and, in some cases, re-analyse the zooarchaeological evidence for this species.
