Third Report on the Exploration at Dog Holes, Warton Crag, Lancs (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A fast-moving look at Dog Holes cave, Warton Crag, across Neolithic to Romano-British times.

This report compiles excavation results from 1907–1912, showing how people lived, were buried, and interacted with animals in a Yorkshire landscape long before written history. The text centers on the Bone Chamber finds and what they reveal about diets, tools, and social life. It ties human remains to animal bones, pottery, and other artifacts to sketch a picture of a cave used as a burial site and a place where people pursued hunting, farming, and craft activities under changing Roman influence.

• Evidence of cooking vessels and food practices from pottery and animal bones.
• A detailed look at the mix of animals present, from cattle and deer to wolves and dogs, and what this says about their use and value.
• Finds related to a dwarf skeleton and unusual dental modifications, with context on how these finds relate to broader prehistoric debates.
• Discussion of how burial practices and remains compare with other Neolithic and Romano-British sites in Britain.
