Animal Bones from Sondum (27012) Sandoy, Faroe Islands 2000 Season Collection
This paper reports on analysis of animal bones collect in 2000 by the Faroese Museum from a stratified but eroding beach front cliff in on the island of Sandoy.
The site designation is Sondum, 27012 and the bone materials have been kindly sent to the CUNY laboratories for analysis by the excavator Simun Arge. While
conditions of bone preservation are not as good as at the Undir Junkarinsfløtti locality to the SW across the embayment, and sample size is much smaller, a
substantial amount of bone was recovered from datable which adds to our understanding of early economic patterns on Sandoy.
