Food, Craft and Status in Medieval Winchester

This volume is part of an integrated series of studies of Winchester’s archaeology. It provides a record and analysis of medieval environmental evidence from the less studied extra-mural areas of Winchester and assesses what these new discoveries add to the understanding of the city’s past. The report includes the most comprehensive study of animal remains from a medieval English town published up to this time. The study is based on excavations from the 1970s and early 1980s, which, by examining sites on the defences and in the historic suburbs, enlarged the scope of previous extensive investigations within the city walls.
