Cattle in the Postcolumbian Americas
Spanish Use of Plants and Animals in Early Colonial New Mexico
During the seventeenth century, Spanish colonists began settling in New Mexico. As an agrarian society, the successful establishment of the colony rested on the colonists’ ability to create relationships with plants and animals in the colony’s novel environmental conditions. Using zooarchaeological and paleoethnobotanical evidence from the capital of Santa Fe and several seventeenth-century ranches, this paper explores the connections colonists h…
Turtle Feasts and the Commensal Politics of Food
This article focuses on four sites in Massachusetts: the eighteenth-century Isaac Royall House in Medford; the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century Boston-Higginbotham House on Nantucket; the early nineteenth-century Joy Street tenement house in Boston; and the early nineteenth-century African Meeting House in Boston. These are domestic contexts, with the exception of the African Meeting House, which also includes remains from community a…
Urbanization and Landscape Change in Early-Eighteenth-Century Boston
Shellfish Collection and Community Connections in Eighteenth-Century Native New England
In recent years, the archaeology of Native American sites in colonial contexts has increased our understanding of how indigenous communities persisted in challenging times. Greater attention to practices helps to create a more enriched picture, especially when set in the context of food and consumption. This article considers shellfish remains excavated from three households on the Eastern Pequot reservation, located several kilometers Inland fro…

Seasonal Slaughter Cycles and Urban Food Supply in the Colonial Chesapeake
Zooarchaeological Evidence for Animal Husbandry and Foodways at Sylvester Manor
Analysis of over 12,000 zooarchaeological specimens recovered from Sylvester Manor provides archaeological evidence to complement the limited historical information about stock raising and food consumption on the plantation. The analyzed collection derives from the south lawn midden deposit at the site, and contains primarily the remains of domestic sheep, cattle, and pigs. The domestic animal ages, based on tooth eruption and wear, suggest aspec…
Zooarchaeology and Historical Archaeology
Interpreting Urban Food Supply and Distribution Systems from Faunal Assemblages
Animal bone assemblages from four historical sites in eastern Massachusetts are analysed in a comparative framework to interpret aspects of urban food systems. Characteristics of the urban environment and the nature of food supply and exchange systems are interpreted from taxonomic representation, body part representation, butchery patterns, and age and seasonal slaughtering patterns. These analyses show that specialized husbandry to supply urban…

Taphonomic evidence for site formation processes at fort Christanna
Fort Christanna was an early eighteenth century Indian trading post on the western frontier of Virginia. This paper describes and interprets the faunal remains recovered during three seasons of excavation at the site. Taxonomic and body part representation are examined to gain insight into diet on the frontier, food provisioning at the fort, and the relationship between the fort's occupants and the neighbouring Indian settlement. These interpreta…
Living on the Boott
Documentary and archaeological evidence provides a view of conditions of sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition under the boarding house system in Lowell, Massachusetts. The evidence is sometimes complementary but more often contradictory. Archaeological evidence, for example, reveals that public expression of corporate concern for worker welfare often failed to be followed by actions that would improve living conditions in the boarding houses. The a…
