Just very dead. Not quite that far back. The people were from about 700-800 AD, Anglo-Saxon. Most of the animal bone at the moment is from more like 3000 BC, so... thoroughly dead. From a site in Iraq.
It's one of those things which didn't actually seem that weird at the time, somehow. It's really different to dealing with animal bone, obviously, but... hm. I'm not even sure how to explain. *laughs*
