Early Evidence for Domestic Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in the Horn of Africa
Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticusL. 1758) are one of the most valued farm animals in the world today. Chickens are widespread and economically and socially significant in Africa. Despite their importance, little is known about the nature of their introduction and subsequent integration into African economies. One reason for this is the morphological similarity of domestic chickens to wild galliform birds in Africa such as guineafowl and…
Early domesticated cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) from Central Ghana
From examining the remains of charred cowpeas from rock shelters in Central Ghana, the authors throw light on the subsistence strategies of the Kintampo people of the second millennium BCE. Perhaps driven southwards from the Sahel by aridification, the Kintampo operated as both foragers and farmers, cultivating selected plants of the West African tropics, notably cowpea, pearl millet and oil palm
Pearl Millet and Kintampo Subsistence
Archaeobotanical evidence for pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in sub-Saharan West Africa
The remains of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) dating to 3460±200 and 2960±370 BP have been recovered at the archaeological site of Birimi, northern Ghana, associated with the Kintampo cultural complex. This finding represents the earliest known occurrence of pearl millet in sub-Saharan Africa. Results indicate that Kintampo peoples developed effective subsistence adaptations to savannas as well as tropical forest habitats
Late Jomon cultigens in northeastern Japan
The subsistence basis for Japanese civilization has always been intensive rice cultivation. What was grown there before the introduction of paddy technology? A glimpse of the plant cultigens in the later Jomon begins to tell
Predator and Scavenger Modification of Recent Equid Skeletal Assemblages
This paper reports on the modification by carnivores of recent equid skeletal remains in the Ross River area, Yukon Territory. The objective of this study is to characterize carnivore modification of skeletal assemblages in terms of bone alteration, carnivore preference for certain bone elements or portions, and patterns of survivorship of elements at recent kill/scavenging sites. The most common types of carnivore alteration observed were tooth …
