Norwich Castle : Excavations and Historical Survey 1987-98. Part III A Zooarchaeological Study

In the 1980s, work began on construction of the vast underground Castle Mall shopping centre in Norwich.

The associated archaeological excavation was one of the largest of its kind in northern Europe, designed to investigate not only the castle bailey but also pre-Conquest settlement and, for the post-Conquest period, areas of the surrounding medieval city.

Although Parts I and II both contain summary accounts of the faunal remains, setting them into their wider context and including additional information on craft activities, the scale of the data made publication of a separate and more specialised report on the faunal remains desirable and this is published here as Part III (EAA occasional paper 22).
