Summary

A series of sediment samples, a single small bag of hand-col1ected shell, and a small assemblage of hand-collected vertebrate remains, from deposits revealed by excavations north-east of High Catton, were submitted for an evaluation of their bioarchaeological potential. The biological remains recovered from the samples were of no interpretative value beyond that given in the text but may provide sufficient material (in the form of charred plant remains) for AMS dating of some of the deposits to be attempted, should this be required. A small vertebrate assemblage was recovered from deposits mostly dating to the Roman period. The preponderance of cattle bones and large mammal (assumed to be mostly cattle) fragments is typical of many Roman animal bone assemblages. Biometrical and age-at-death data for the major domesticates should be recorded from all well-dated material, to provide usefu
