Appendix 4. The Hoxne mammalian remains

Abstract

The mammalian remains from Hoxne are few in number and variety. Of the fossils which have been collected only a part have been preserved. Most of these are in the collections at Ipswich Museum and are from Moir’s (1926, 1935) excavations, and these are listed below. The stratigraphical horizon is given where known. Trogontherium sp. Femur and eight molars from stratum E. Provisionally determined by Dr T. M. Stout as T. lydekkeri Schlosser. Cervus elaphus L. Limb bones, antler fragments and a vertebra. These remains represent at least six animals. A radius and a metacarpal were found together in stratum F lying on the Lowestoft Till; these were the only finds during the recent investigations. Their position in the stratigraphy was verified by pollen analysis (no. 10, table 5) of sediment from the bone surface. Bos or Bison sp. Tooth and a limb bone. Equus caballus L. Teeth and limb bones. These belong to at least eight beasts. Several of the teeth are known to have come from stratum A 2. Elephas sp. Ilium.
