The identification of poultry processing in archaeological ceramic vessels using in-situ isotope references for organic residue analysis
Poultry products are rarely considered when reconstructing pottery use through organic residue analysis, impinging upon our understanding of the changing role of these animals in the past. Here we evaluate an isotopic approach for distinguishing chicken fats from other animal products. We compare the carbon isotopes of fatty acids extracted from modern tissues and archaeological bones and demonstrate that archaeological bones from contexts associ…
Foxes and Badgers in Anglo-Saxon Life and Landscape
Anglo-Saxon England (c. AD 410–1066) had a diversity of wild animals, yet the majority of studies to date have focused on a select group of species. These include those considered edible, such as roe and red deer (cervids), and those now extinct in England, such as wolves and beavers. Accordingly, the roles and relations of many other wild mammal species have rarely been studied and are poorly understood. This paper explores human perceptions of,…
The Contextual Cat
The growing popularity of relational approaches to agency amongst archaeologists has led to increased attention on the specific contexts of interaction between humans and their material worlds. Within such viewpoints, non-humans are perceived as agents in their own right and placed on an equal footing with humans, with both acting to generate social categories in past cultures. However, to date, the focus of these interpretative models has been o…
Avian aurality in Anglo-Saxon England
Reconstructions of past human experience have generally focused on the visual and the tactile. When sound has been considered, it is usually in terms of anthropogenic noises, created within human-built environments. While these studies are valuable, they frequently overlook a ubiquitous aspect of soundscapes in previous cultures: birdsong. As with other animals, birds were far more than just sources of food in past societies; they were key aspect…
Horses for Courses? Religious Change and Dietary Shifts In A nglo‐ S axon E ngland
The evidence for horse consumption in A nglo‐ S axon E ngland is examined with regards to the spread of C hristianity from the late sixth century onwards. It is argued that the negative attitudes of Church leaders to hippophagy relate largely to the perceived links of this practice with pagan beliefs and were closely allied to attempts at establishing greater religious orthodoxy. In considering the effects of such attitudes, previous studies have…
Engendering Debate
WITH THE GROWING popularity of theoretical approaches within medieval archaeology, identity has become a central area of research. Although such studies frequently expound upon the role of the material world in negotiations between individuals and society, there is a tendency to overlook what were fundamen- tal agents within this process: animals. This is especially true of Anglo-Saxon England, where farming determined the daily experiences of mo…
