Proceedings Reference A slice of veal with your stale bread? Faunal remains from the 18th century latrine at the abbey of Clairefontaine (Belgium)
Analysis of faunal remains coming from archaeological contexts of abbeys have been carried out in several European countries. In Belgium, although such studies are available for the north of the country (Flanders), they are still lacking for the southern part (Wallonia). The study of animal bones unearthed in the Cistercian nunnery of Clairefontaine (1247-1794) helps to fill this gap. Here, we focus on the 18th century latrine in which animal remains were collected by hand. In addition, samples were taken in the filling of the structure for a total of 80 liters of sediments and were wet sieved to recover the small bone fragments. The information gathered during the faunal analysis are presented and then compared with historical sources, especially the account books of the abbey, to provide a more accurate insight into the diet of the sisters. It appears that consumption of meat was not uncommon. The relative diversity of foods consumed and some unusual findings are indicative of the high status of the abbey of Clairefontaine, which is also revealed by plant remains and material culture.

Inproceedings Reference A slice of veal with your stale bread? Faunal remains from the 18th century latrine at the abbey of Clairefontaine (Belgium)
Des analyses de restes fauniques issus de fouilles archéologiques en contexte religieux ont été menées dans plusieurs pays européens. En Belgique, de telles études sont disponibles pour la Flandre mais aucune abbaye wallonne n'avait jusqu'alors fait l'objet d'analyse archéo­ zoologique. L'étude des ossements d'animaux découverts lors des fouilles de l'abbaye cistercienne de Clairefontaine 1247-1794), en province de Luxembourg, contribue donc à combler cette lacune. Ici, nous nous concentrons sur les latrines du 18e siècle dans lesquelles les restes d'animaux ont été récoltés à la main. En outre, des échantillons de sédiments ont été prélevés dans le remplissage de la structure et tamisés afin de récupérer les petits fragments osseux. Les résultats obtenus lors de l'étude faunique sont présentés et comparés aux sources historiques, en particulier les livres de comptes de l'abbaye étudiés par Isabelle Bernard, afin de fournir un aperçu plus précis de l'alimentation des sœurs. Il semble que la consom­mation de viande n'était pas rare. La relative diversité des aliments consommés et certaines découvertes plus inhabituelles sont révélatrices du haut statut de l'abbaye de Clairefontaine, qui est également reflété par les restes de plantes et la culture matérielle.
