Livestock for sale: animal husbandry in a Roman frontier zone. The case study of the civitas Batavorum. Extra tables and figures

These tables and figures are supplementary material to the monograph 'Livestock for sale: animal husbandry in a Roman frontier zone. The case study of the civitas Batavorum', written by Maaike Groot and published by Amsterdam University Press in 2016 in the series Amsterdam Archaeological Studies. This monograph is the end result of two research projects: the Veni project 'Livestock for sale: the effect of a market economy on rural communities in the Roman frontier zone' sponsored by NWO and the Marie Curie project 'Sustaining the Empire: farming and food supply in two Roman frontier regions'. This monograph investigates animal husbandry and food production in the civitas Batavorum, by bringing together all zooarchaeological for the region. The civitas Batavorum is located on the northwestern frontier of the Roman empire. Following a long tradition of archaeological research, rescue archaeology has increased the number of excavations in the last fifteen years enormously. The quality of the data set, particularly with regard to rural settlement, is excellent. This study investigates animal husbandry and food production. On the one hand, it uses zooarchaeological data to answer broader economic questions, and to trace economic developments in a Roman frontier province. On the other hand, it is a regional synthesis, and includes all zooarchaeological data for the region. It compares data from rural settlements, military sites, towns and temples, and gains insight into the interaction between farmers and people who relied on the farmers to produce food. This study is essential reading for anyone interested in the economy of the Roman provincial countryside or food supply to the Roman army and towns
