Investigation of social and economic change has always been central
to archaeology. As part of this, population movements have
frequently been emphasised as instigators of transition. This is
particularly the case in British archaeology where, as an island,
migration episodes tend to be viewed as highly significant. The
Norman Conquest was the last and perhaps most famous of Britains
invasions, resulting in the almost complete replacement of the
Saxon elite, both lay and ecclesiastical. Because the events
surrounding the Conquest are so well documented, 1066 has come to
be held as a significant watershed. This book sets out to undertake
a detailed zooarchaeological analysis of the Norman Conquest,
whereby data are considered by site-type to detect subtle temporal
variations, if present, in human-animal relationships. The aim of
this book is to show that zooarchaeological and historical data can
be used together profitably to provide a new perspective on the
Normans and their conquest of England. In order to accomplish this,
the Norman Conquest is examined at the macro, meso and micro scale,
which can be translated as the Norman Empire, Saxo-Norman England
and specific Saxo-Norman sites, respectively. Contents: Chapter 1:
Introduction; Chapter 2: The French Dataset; Chapter 3: The Animal
Economy: Continuity or Change?; Chapter 4: New Norman Breeds?
Studies in Animal Size and Conformation; Chapter 5: The Norman
Impact on Wild Resource Exploitation; Chapter 6: Deer Hunting:
Methods and Rituals; Chapter 7: Biogeography of the Anglo-Norman
