Hi folks, A broad request here: I'm currently trying to get an idea of the distribution and frequency of cetacean remains in archaeological sites in Britain and Ireland, dating to any time before 1500AD. Essentially, from looking around I have gathered that in looking at the well known stuff - such as Flixborough - I am only scratching the surface. If anyone can think of any sources that even refer to as little as a single chunk of cetacean bone in a site from Britain or Ireland - or know of any relevant unpublished finds - I would be extremely grateful for the information. I am gathering this information as a preliminary study for what will hopefully become a PhD thesis. Thanks, and apologies for cross-posting, Peter
