Background
My thesis examines the faunal remains from the Roman Villa site at Folkestone, Kent. Due to Iron Age contexts, I will analyse the changes in animal economy over the Iron Age/ Roma transition in Britain. One of the main questions being asked is either the villa structure was bulilt by incoming Romans or the Iron Age community who inhabited the site before the villa. My research hopes to explore the use of buthcery for distungishing ethnic identiy to help answer this question.
