Abstract
A cetacean “trap” close to the prehistoric herder site of Kasteelberg would have periodically provided the inhabitants with large quantities of meat and fat. Short-term storage by burial in beach sands was recorded by historical observers. We analysed seal meat and fat buried in sand over a period of 35 days and found the bacterial counts and edible quality remained within satisfactory limits for human consumption for up to 10 days.
