Assessing the viability of diatom, starch granule, and phytolith analyses to trace seaweeds in archaeology
Seaweeds are a notoriously challenging non-human community to trace archaeologically due to their ephemeral nature and the relatively novel archaeological science methods required for identification in the archaeological record. This article presents an assessment of micro-remains present across twenty-one modern seaweed species (i.e., macroalgae) collected in southern (Rogaland) and northern (Nordland) Norway as part of the Seaweeds in Archaeolo…
Time to Grow
Archaeological knowledge of Indigenous human–plant relationships within the Canadian northern plains is comparatively limited to more southern areas of the Great Plains. This is partly due to a lack of standardized requirements and methodologies for paleoethnobotanical research in Canadian cultural resource management; in addition, often such research is only routinely practiced by paleoethnobotanists, of which there are few in the study region. …
The changing fortunes of seaweeds in the North Atlantic from prehistory to the present day
Seaweeds are increasingly presented as a solution to global problems of food insecurity that can simultaneously combat climate change through carbon sequestration and regenerate damaged marine environments. However, seaweed consumption can be viewed as challenging for Western palates, requiring a significant cultural shift in order to become widely accepted. This paper summarizes archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence for seaweed exploitatio…
Flavours of Pictish life
Microbotanical residues may shed light on ancient foodways and culinary traditions. • Starch grains and phytoliths can be used to understand function of pots. • Food residues from Pictish pot sherds confirm cereals were common plant ingredients. Understanding the seasonal and daily aspects of late Roman and early medieval life in northern Britain has been hugely challenging due to a dearth of excavated sites and poor preservation of settlement fe…
New zooarchaeological evidence from Pictish sites in Scotland
Our knowledge of the use of livestock in early medieval Scotland is fragmentary and relies on a handful of well-studied faunal assemblages, with few from Pictland (north-east Scotland), an important and enigmatic group and latterly kingdom in Northern Britain that existed between the 3rd and 9th centuries AD. The assemblages that have been recovered and studied mainly occur at the limits of this territory, beyond the heartland of the Picts in the…
