Duck tales from Venice
The Venetian Lagoon is a major wintering site for migratory birds, while also sustaining a diverse resident avifauna. This study explores the past interplay between human communities and the wild bird populations of the lagoon, from Roman times to the end of the Middle Ages. It employs traditional zooarchaeological analyses (taxonomic frequencies, ageing, biometry), medullary bone analysis, and a recently developed biometric method designed to id…
Feeding the miners
Cervified
This paper presents a new method for differentiating postcranial bone remains of red deer ( Cervus elaphus ), fallow deer ( Dama dama ), and roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) from European archaeological contexts. These species have very similar bone morphology and partly overlapping size ranges, often preventing species-level identification in zooarchaeological research. Traditional methods, such as the use of diagnostic morphological criteria, o…
Unmaking’ the Deer in Medieval Europe
Deer hunting was heavily ritualized in medieval Europe, as indicated by historical and archaeological evidence; it also emphasized social differentiation. The butchery of a deer carcass (‘unmaking’) was integral to the ritual and led to different body parts being destined for individuals of differing status. Archaeologically, the practice is particularly visible in high-status sites in Britain, but documentary and archaeological sources are consi…
Time for a change? Investigating shifts in agricultural economies and food in southern-central Norway (11th -16th c. AD)
Cattle and, to a lesser extent, sheep/goat and pigs, were crucial components of Norway's socio-cultural and economic dynamics in the Middle Ages. Zooarchaeological analyses of faunal samples from different urban sites reveal that changes in cattle husbandry practices occurred in Norway over the medieval period, and especially in its early phases. This is clearly demonstrated in the case of medieval Oslo, where an in-depth zooarchaeological study …
The role of sheep husbandry during the Arab agricultural revolution in medieval Sicily (7th-14th c. AD)
The faunal assemblage from the manufacturing district at Spolverino
This paper presents a zooarchaeological analysis from the site of Spolverino (southern Tuscany, Italy). Archaeological excavations have uncovered a complex stratigraphy dated from the Roman Imperial period to Late Antiquity (late 1st- early 6th centuries AD). The industrial function of the site in Imperial times is partially reflected in the nature of the faunal assemblage. In Late Antiquity, Spolverino lost its original manufacturing functions, …
