Earliest Utilization of Chicken in Upper California: The Zooarchaeology of Avian Remains from the San Diego Royal Presidio
The San Diego Presidio, established in AD 1769, was the first European settlement in Upper California. Very little is known about chicken husbandry in colonial America, which makes this study the first comprehensive analysis of chicken remains in North America. Chickens are scarcely mentioned in historical accounts describing early California, and information on their sex, age, or management is rare. The faunal assemblage from the San Diego Presi…
The Wide Lens in Archaeology
This book honors the memory of Brian Hesse, a scholar of Near Eastern archaeology, a writer of alliterative and punned publication titles, and an accomplished amateur photographer. Hesse specialized in zooarchaeology, but he influenced a wider range of excavators and ancient historians with his broad interpretive reach. He spent much of his career analyzing faunal materials from different countries in the Middle East-including Iran, Yemen, and Is…

Social Stratification in the Late Bronze and E arly I ron A ges: An Intra‐Site Investigation at M egiddo
The article presents an intra‐site investigation of the S trata VIIA and VIA faunal remains at M egiddo, I srael, which date to the LB III and late Iron I respectively. We examined social disparity between the populations of two areas of the city. Our finds indicate a difference in social status and division of labour: a dichotomy between producer‐consumers and consumers, who most probably interacted. Viewed in light of other types of remains at …
Corpus of 694 Astragali from Stratum II at Tel Beersheba
The paper analyzes the spatial distribution of a corpus of 694 astragalus bones found in Stratum II at Tel Beersheba. Most astragali bear one or more modification marks-resulting, from burning, drilling, cutting or grinding/polishing. A GIS (geographical information system) spatial analysis of this corpus shows neither a pattern in the distribution of sheep versus goat astragali nor a pattern in distribution associated with their location or modi…

The Pastoral Component in the Economy of Hill Country Sites in the Intermediate Bronze and Iron Ages: Archaeo-Ethnographic Case Studies
Le pastoralisme a joue un role important dans l'economie de subsistance des societes anciennes du Proche-Orient. Cette importance reside dans la variete des produits que procurent les animaux, tels viande, lait et produits derives, laine, cuir, corne, voire sang. De plus, les produits alimentaires animaux apportent des composants nutritifs precieux que sont la graisse et les proteines. La presente etude analyse la composition pastorale des societ…
