Diet in the Roman World: a regional inter-site comparison of the mammal bones
"The aim of this paper is to set out the evidence for regional patterns in diet during the Roman period. It uses a specific sector of archaeological data to explore the notions of Romanization, inter-regional influence and diachronic change. That sector is the mammal bones in faunal assemblages from excavations: an area of data gathering that has only developed significantly since the 1970s, and is therefore relatively new in terms of yielding useful result." By Anthony King.
