The discovery
and excavation of a Late Iron-Age and Early Roman Farmstead at
Martin's Quarry (now
known at Pinden), Longfield,
Kent 1974 and 1979 TQ6084/6842
Animal
Bone Assessment by Gillian
Cramp and Albert Daniels
Gillian Cramp (FAAG) and Albert Daniels (MAAG)
recording Martins Quarry animal bone.
Location
Martin’s Quarry, now known as
Pinden Quarry, is situated on a chalk hillside on the north side of the
Longfield valley.
Grid reference TQ5956 6960
Rescue excavations, prompted by
surface stripping, were carried out by members of the Fawkham and Ash
Archaeological Group (FAAG) during October and November 1974 and January
to April 1979. This led to the discovery of lengths of boundary ditches,
pits and postholes. These were dated by pottery to the late Iron Age and
early Roman periods, and indicated the presence of a late Iron Age and
Romano-British Farmstead.
Collection
An assemblage of animal bones was
recovered by hand collection. No sieving was undertaken. However, before
the archaeologists arrived on site, machine stripping had occurred,
disturbing the surface of some of the pits and ditches cut into the
chalk. The resulting spoil was checked and any finds salvaged.
Quantity
The total weight of the bone
assemblage from Martin’s Quarry is 23.2107 kilos (23210.7 grams). This
includes fragmentary, unidentifiable bone which was weighed and
discarded.
There was no specific fragment count but this can be
extrapolated from the digital list of analysed bone.
The assemblage is currently stored in 5 plastic boxes (45cms x38cms) in
the FAAG store in New Ash Green.
Species
The hand collected remains
include the bones of cattle (Bos taurus), sheep/goat (Ovis/Capra),
pig (Sus sp.), horse (Equus sp.), dog (Canis
familiaris), deer (Cervus elaphus) and bird (Aves).

State of Preservation
Preservation is generally good
with some fragmentation and little surface erosion.
Dating/phasing
The preliminary phasing indicates
that the assemblage originates in the late Iron Age and continues into
the early Roman period. Dating was obtained from examination of the
associated pottery.
Features/Deposits The
bone was excavated from a series of pits and ditches.

List of Bones
A digital list of bones has been
compiled showing contexts, species, type of bone, approximate age (where
possible), epiphyses where present, dentition and weight. A fragment
count can be extrapolated from this list. (See Appendix
1)
No spreadsheet has been created
showing frequency, measurable and fusion evidence but this information
is, in part, contained in the list above.
However, a spreadsheet has been created showing the weight of bone from
each context broken down by species and total weight of bone recovered
for each species. (See Appendix
2)
Unknown Contexts
Data from unknown contexts are
included in the last line of the spreadsheet.
