    Hi Nick,

    Just found this thread, it's great!

    The bear skull is very interesting, note how the cranium has been carefully and deliberatley removed, unlike the pig and cow skulls. This has almost certainly been done to remove the brain for use in tanning the bear hide, a very valuable commodity.

    The brain is mashed up in a vessel or bucket with enough water to submerge the hide totally. It is then left to 'steep' for a week or so, with occaisional stirring. The hide is then left to dry whilst left on a stretching frame. Finally, it's ready for whatever use that you (or the romans) have for it. It's an old sioux/cheyenne saying that "every animal has enough brains to tan it's own hide".

    Regards, Ned.
