Who likes leftovers?-2,000 year old RABBIT DINNER found in England
Remains of Roman rabbit dinner unearthed in Norfolk

LONDON (AFP) - Archaeologists in Norfolk believe they have unearthed the remains of a 2,000-year-old rabbit dinner.


Norfolk county council's archaeological unit said the bones -- found at an early Roman settlement in Lynford, Norfolk -- probably belonged a Spanish rabbit common in Roman times.


"The bones themselves had been butchered. Possibly the rabbit was to be eaten by a Roman, and then buried on the site," said unit manager Jane Bowen on Wednesday.

"We believe we have convincing evidence that these rabbit remains could be the earliest known in Britain."

It is thought that rabbits were introduced to Britain following the Roman invasion in the year 43 AD.
