Summary

Around 1,800 years ago, over 9,000 bones, mainly from frogs, ended up in an Iron Age/Roman gully near Cambridge. When archaeologists first dug them up, speculation soon followed. Were these the remains of a Roman frog feast or perhaps the skeletal aftermath of a ritual? Now a new study published in Environmental Archaeology has examined the remains and found they resulted from a feast, but not a human one.
