Missing Legs

Photo of bones in the ground

An intriguing aspect to the burial of the pig bones at Hallaton is the mystery of the missing right forelegs. There are not enough of these bones represented in the bone assemblage indicating that this part of the carcass was deposited elsewhere. Did the right foreleg have some special significance to the Corieltavi tribe? Or was this part of the animal seen as unsuitable for burial at the shrine?
