Table 3. *’Sr/*°Sr data for the comparative samples taken from Bury Hill and Rooksdown from the site. Nevertheless, Hamilton (2000) argues that the presence of very young lambs in the animal bone assemblage from Bury Hill indicates that lambing took place on site or nearby. To increase the number of comparative samples, a sheep/goat LM2 and LM3 (probably from the same individual) were also sampled.
