摘要

The marine shell assemblage from Earl’s Bu shows that a variety of locally available species were brought to the site. Some species were probably for direct human consumption, like the periwinkle and oyster, but many are less easily explicable and may have been collected for ornamental purposes. The limpets found are atypical, in that they were considerably smaller than usually found when collected for bait
or for human consumption.
