I excavated this piece along side Bos & Cervid bones I first thought it just to be a domestic pig skull, I now know it to be from a wild boar. This piece as with all other finds on this blog was reported to http://www.teesarchaeology.com/ with no response ! I can find no other record of wild boar fossils being excavated in the south west of Cleveland.

3 - Note how long the snout is and the low profile of the cranium.
