Cultural and Genetic Contexts for Early Turkey Domestication in the Northern Southwest
The turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) was independently domesticated in Mesoamerica and the Southwest, the latter as the only case of Native American animal domestication north of Mexico. In the upland (non-desert) portion of the American Southwest, distinctive closely related mtDNA lineages belonging to haplogroup H1 (thought to indicate domestication) occur from ca. 1 A.D. (Basketmaker II period) through early historic times. At many sites, low freq…
Isotopic studies of the diet of the people of the coast of B ritish C olumbia
In 1982, Chisholm et al. used δ 13 C data for human burials from shell midden sites widely distributed on the coast of British Columbia (BC) to show the extreme dependence of these individuals on high trophic level marine consumers, principally salmon and marine mammals. Here, we present previously unpublished analyses of δ 15 N for some of the same individuals as well as δ 13 C data for additional individuals. Nitrogen isotope data show that the…
Prehistoric Subsistence in the Soconusco Region
Marine and Terrestrial Protein in Prehistoric Diets on the British Columbia Coast
Stable-Carbon Isotope Ratios as a Measure of Marine Versus Terrestrial Protein in Ancient Diets
The stable-carbon isotope ratios for the flesh of marine and terrestrial animals from Canada's Pacific coast differ by 7.9 ± 0.4 per mil, reflecting the ∼ 7 per mil difference between oceanic and atmospheric carbon. This difference is passed on to human consumers. The carbon isotopic values (δ 13 C) for human collagen thus yield direct information on the relative amounts of marine and terrestrial foods in prehistoric diets.
