Human refuse as a major ecological factor in medieval urban vertebrate communities [PDF]
, 2000 Organic refuse, such as food and butchery waste, was commonly deposited in dumps andpits in medieval towns throughout northern Europe. These deposits of refuse attracted and supponed a diverse communily of scavengers and their predators.
