Description	The following report details the results of zooarchaeological analyses of animal bone from archaeological burial contexts in southwestern Norway. These analyses were undertaken in support of doctoral research undertaken by Arild Klokkervoll, and are meant to provide an empirical basis for his investigation of the intentional deposition of animal remains in prehistoric human burials. As such, the report limits itself to the presentation of raw data. Where possible, remains were identified to species/element, and any evidence regarding age-at-death, butchery or burning noted. Species/element identification was undertaken using both physical and digital reference collections, as well as standard published sources (Cohen and Serjeantson 1996; Hillson 2009; Schmid 1972). Ageing evidence follows Silver (1969) and Higham (1967). Site selection was performed by Klokkervoll. References: Cohen, A. and Serjeanton, D. 1996.
