The Burmese hare as a palaeoecological indicator
An Experimental Approach to Archaeomorphometrics
In Memoriam
Asian Perspectives, Vol. 62, No. 2 © 2023 by the University of Hawai‘i Press. IN MEMORIAM Terry T. Marsh (25 July 1938 – 30 July 2021) Terry Marsh excavating at Spirit Cave, Thailand, in early March 1971 (Photograph by Chet Gorman, courtesy of Joyce White and the Institute for Southeast Asian Archaeology, University of Pennsylvania Museum) On 30 July 2021, Terry T.

Preservation of Mammalian Teeth and Bones Influences Identification of Terminal Pleistocene to Middle Holocene Hunter-Gatherer Subsistence at Ban Rai Rockshelter, Northwest Thailand
Ban Rai Rockshelter in northwest Thailand, dating to the Terminal Pleistocene and Middle Holocene, includes evidence for hunter-gatherer exploitation of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and arthropods. Abundant faunal remains, identified throughout site deposits, include macaques (Macaca sp.) and Sambar deer (Rusa unicolor), but these identifications are influenced by an assemblage largely comprised of preserved tooth elements and fragmented bone.…
The Monkeys and Parrots of Gold Rush-era California
As immigrant gold miners migrated en masse to San Francisco and northern California during the Gold Rush-era (ca. 1849–1855), they experienced new animals. Stopping in ports throughout Central and South America, these argonauts saw, felt, smelled, heard, and occasionally consumed, mammals, birds, reptiles, and many more creatures, which were wholly exotic to those species found at home. Two types of animals that the Gold Rush populace encountered…
The Community at the Crossroads
Situated at the junction of two canyons, one north–south and one east–west, Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) is within easy reach of a number of different ecoregions as well as on a boundary between two distinct culture areas, the Pueblo to the west and the Great Plains to the east. This position on the landscape may have created both challenges and opportunities for the residents of Tijeras Pueblo. While the elevation of Tijeras Canyon makes this locatio…
Re-evaluating Pleistocene-Holocene occupation of cave sites in north-west Thailand
Established chronologies indicate a long-term 'Hoabinhian' hunter-gatherer occupation of Mainland Southeast Asia during the Terminal Pleistocene to Mid-Holocene (45 000-3000 years ago). Here, the authors re-examine the 'Hoabinhian' sequence from north-west Thailand using new radiocarbon and luminescence data from Spirit Cave, Steep Cliff Cave and Banyan Valley Cave. The results indicate that hunter-gatherers exploited this ecologically diverse re…
World Whaling
Whales are omnipresent in the consciousness of modern society, but their public and scientific perceptions have significantly shifted over the last several hundred years. Today, there is a broad attempt to protect and study whales and their habitats, even while sustainable commercial and Indigenous fisheries continue. For the past several millennia humans have interacted with and exploited whales - but it is the critical period since ca. ~1700 th…

Finny Merchandise
During California’s Gold Rush of 1849-1855, thousands of miners rushed to San Francisco, Sacramento, and elsewhere throughout northern California, creating a significant demand for food. In this work, we investigate the role of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and Pacific cod (G. macrocephalus) during the Gold Rush era using historical records, ancient DNA, and vertebral morphology in the cod assemblage recovered from Thompson’s Cove (CA-SFR-186H), a …

Ancient DNA Analysis and Stable Isotope Ecology of Sea Turtles (Cheloniidae) from the Gold Rush-era (1850s) Eastern Pacific Ocean
Historical and archaeological evidence documents the importation of sea turtles from the eastern Pacific Ocean (Baja California) to California during the Gold Rush (1848–1855) and through the end of 19th century, but it is unknown whether these 19th century sea turtles foraged in similar ways to their modern counterparts. To identify the species of two Gold Rush-era sea turtle specimens recovered from archaeological deposits in San Francisco, Cal…
What Makes a Dog? Stable Isotope Analysis and Human-canid Relationships at Arroyo Hondo Pueblo
Domesticated animals in the prehispanic American Southwest/Mexican Northwest functioned in many roles, but these roles seem to have varied across time and space. In this study, we use bone collagen and apatite carbon (δ13Ccol/ap) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes to investigate the role(s) of seven canids from Arroyo Hondo Pueblo (LA 12), a 14th century site in the northern Rio Grande, New Mexico. Results indicate that in some cases, coyotes se…
Stable Oxygen Isotope Sourcing of Archaeological Fauna From Chaco Canyon, New Mexico
Modern datasets provide the context necessary for accurate interpretations of isotopic data from archaeological faunal assemblages. In this study, we use the oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) of modern small mammals from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, to quantify expected isotopic variation in a local population. The δ18O values of local, modern small mammals encompass a broad range (−6.0‰ to 4.8‰ VPDB), which is expected given the extreme seasonal variati…

Palaeoecology and Forager Subsistence Strategies during the Pleistocene – Holocene Transition
This reanalysis uses the zooarchaeological assemblage recovered from Spirit Cave to understand hunter-gatherer use and occupation at the site during the Pleistocene - Holocene transition. We analyze bone fragmentation, sample size, and relative abundance to establish the preservation and overall composition of the remaining fauna. Identification of several new taxa, including roundleaf bats (Hipposideros larvatus and bicolor), elongated tortoise …
Turkeys on the fringe
Previous research reporting stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values of prehistoric turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) remains from the American Southwest indicates that these birds were husbanded in consistent ways: the majority of samples suggest a diet dominated by maize, a domesticate that uses the C4 photosynthetic pathway. However, most of these studies have focused on turkey remains from locations where maize would likely have bee…

Archaeozoology in Mainland Southeast Asia
Meta-analysis of archaeozoological data from 28 prehistoric sites in Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia indicate that turtle (hard-shell, soft-shell and tortoise) and mollusc exploitation dominate the late Pleistocene and Holocene hunter-gatherer record. A total of 163 taxonomic classifications provide 29,842 identified specimens in this dataset. Using nestedness and squared chord distance metrics, results indicate that narrowing diet breadth and s…
