  • Poulton, Cheshire

    Kevin Cootes, Janet Axworthy et al.ARTICLEChurch archaeology2023

    This article presents the results of the radiocarbon dating programme and interpretation of a medieval chapel and graveyard in Poulton, Cheshire. The structure was associated with a lost Cistercian Abbey of 12th-13th-century date, which was relocated to Staffordshire after c. 60 years. Extensive excavation has revealed a minimum of 783 interments, interpreted as the remains of the farming community who worked the land after the monks’ departure. …

  • Medieval fish remains on the Newport ship identified by ZooMS collagen peptide mass fingerprinting

    Open AccessMichael Buckley, Virginia L Harvey et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2022Cited by: 6References: 42

    Fish represent a key economic, social and ecological group of species that humans have exploited for tens of thousands of years. However, as many fish stocks are going into decline and with little known about the anthropogenic impacts on the health of the marine ecosystem pre-Industrial Revolution, understanding historical and archaeological exploitation of fish species is key to accurately modelling these changes. Here, we explore the potential …

  • Wild food in an urban environment

    Open AccessHannah Ru, Russ Hannah et al.ARTICLEAnthropozoologica2021Cited by: 2References: 23

    In northern Italy's Po Plain, Etruscan cities flourished during the Archaic period (c. 6th-4th centuries BC), thanks to an organized and dynamic commercial network that linked these centres with Italy, Europe, and the Mediterranean. This new urban network had a significant impact on the territory it occupied, and zooarchaeological studies document the emergence of a new agricultural strategy and livestock improvement. While there is ample evidenc…

  • Furness’s First Farmers

    Open AccessGav Robinson, Matthew Town et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2020References: 51

    In 2015, excavations at Stainton Quarry, Furness, Cumbria, recovered remains that provide a unique insight into Early Neolithic farming in the vicinity. Five pits, a post-hole, and deposits within a tree-throw and three crevices in a limestone outcrop were investigated. The latter deposits yielded potentially the largest assemblage of Carinated Bowl fragments yet recovered in Cumbria. Lipid analysis identified dairy fats within nine of these sher…

  • Historical zooarchaeology of colonialism, mercantilism, and indigenous dispossession

    Adam R Heinrich, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    The investigation of the Dutch East India Company’s (VOC) meat industry that was emplaced at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa reveals information about livestock production, slaughter, and consumption at the colonial entrepot in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The investigation consisted of five faunal samples including three sites from the Castle of Good Hope; the Moat, the Granary (F2), and Donkergat (DKG); Elsenburg; and the Dump …

  • Advances in hunter-gatherer research in Mexico

    Joaquin Arroyo-Cabrales, Eduardo Corona‐m et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    Interest in the first hunter-gatherer populations of Mexico has increased in the last fifteen years. Exploration of the Late Pleistocene localities involved in the early peopling of Mexico, including the discovery of new ones and reanalysis of known ones, and the application of new methods and techniques (e.g. AMS radiocarbon dating, stable isotopes, scanning electron microscopy, palaeobotanical analysis) have increased. Archaeozoology has contri…

  • Animal use at early colonies on the southeastern coast of the United States

    E J Reitz, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    Data from three early European-sponsored colonies in North America indicate that changes in animal use occurred quickly. Over half of the meat from vertebrate sources in a Spanish assemblage associated with the first permanent European settlement on the Atlantic coast (Florida) and a French assemblage from the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico near Mobile (Alabama) are from local, wild animals. The English assemblage associated with Charles To…

  • Farming, social change, and state formation in Southeast Asia

    C Higham, Charles F W Higham et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    Farming in Southeast Asia is dominated two major crops, rice and millet, and domestic pigs, cattle, water buffalo, chickens, and dogs. The domestication of these species took place in China, and the first farmers began to settle Southeast Asia in the early second millennium bc. They integrated with the indigenous hunter-gatherers, and were heavily reliant not only on their crops and domestic animals, but also on hunting, gathering, and fishing. A…

  • Behavioural inferences from Late Pleistocene Aboriginal Australia

    Richard Cosgrove, Jillian Garvey et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    Detailed research into marsupial behavioural ecology and modelling of past Aboriginal exploitation of terrestrial fauna has been scarce. Poor bone preservation is one limiting factor in Australian archaeological sites, but so has been the lack of research concerning the ecology and physiology of Australia’s endemic fauna. Much research has focused on marine and fresh-water shell-fish found in coastal and inland midden sites. Detailed studies into…

    U Albarella, Mauro Rizzetto et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    This book presents a survey of world archaeology, from the point of view of animal remain studies. It can be considered as a showcase for world zooarchaeology. Forty-eight chapters written by researchers from twenty-five countries discuss archaeological investigations in five different continents. The geographic range covers the Arctic as well as the Tropics, islands and continental land masses, marine shores, forests, hills, and mountains. Human…

  • The exploitation of aquatic environments by the Olmec and Epi-Olmec

    Tanya M Peres, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    Hydrographic features dominate the Olmec heartland. Fishing, travel, transport, and trade via watercraft were essential parts of daily life. This chapter synthesizes archaeofaunal, iconographic, and biological data about human–animal relationships during the Formative period in the Gulf Coastal lowlands of Veracruz, Mexico. Aquatic environments were reliable sources of physical sustenance for the Olmec and Epi-Olmec, and fresh-water fish, turtles…

  • Tracking the trade in animal pelts in early historic eastern North America

    Heather A Lapham, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017Cited by: 3

    This chapter highlights zooarchaeology’s contribution to our understanding of the trade in animal pelts (furs, skins, and hides) that flourished between Native Americans and Europeans in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in eastern North America. Hides from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) dominated exchanges in the southern trades, whereas the northern trades focused mainly on acquiring pelts from American beaver (Castor canaden…

  • Years of communal bison hunting in western North America

    J D Speth, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017Cited by: 1

    For the past 13,000 years Indians in the North American Great Plains hunted bison (Bison bison and B. antiquus) in large communally organized drive operations. This chapter briefly describes the taxonomy of fossil and living bison, the behaviour of modern bison, and what is known from ethnohistoric and archaeological sources about the ways that Indians conducted these drives, including the use of foot surrounds, cliff jumps, arroyo traps, and pou…

  • Humans and mammals in the Upper Palaeolithic of Russia

    Mietje Germonpré, Mikhail Sablin et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017Cited by: 1

    This chapter focuses on the mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) and large canid (wolf (Canis lupus) and/or dog (Canis familiaris)) assemblages recorded at Upper Palaeolithic sites from the Russian Plain and Siberia. It accordingly pursues the following questions: (1) Is the mammoth ubiquitously found in the Upper Palaeolithic sites of Russia?, (2) Are large canids as often present at Siberian sites as they are at sites from the Russian Plain? and (3)…

  • The zooarchaeology of complexity and specialization during the Upper Palaeolithic in Western Europe

    Katherine Boyle, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    Over the last twenty years attempts have been made to determine the nature of Upper Palaeolithic hunting specialization. This chapter traces assemblage structural ‘specialization’, where faunal assemblages are dominated by a single species, vs ‘diversity’, in which all recorded species are well represented, between 45,000 and 10,000 bp (Châtelperronian to Azilian), and demonstrates regularity in the archaeozoological record. It moves away from th…

  • The exploitation of aquatic resources in Holocene West Africa

    Veerle Linseele, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017

    In sub-Saharan West Africa, substantial archaeological evidence only appears from about 2000 bc. From that time onwards, sites with large proportions of fish-bones and large numbers of fish taxa, including open-water fish, are known. Deep-water fishing requires a well-developed fishing technology. Links have been made between the sites and modern, specialized fishers. However, because of the high component of crops in the diets of modern fishers,…

  • Middle and Later Stone Age hunters and their prey in southern Africa

    Ina Plug, Umberto Albarella et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology2017Cited by: 3

    Identifications of animal remains from southern African Stone Age sites are complicated by the abundancy of taxa, skeletal differences, a wide variety of habitats, and the fragmented condition of most of the bone samples. Studies in osteomorphology and osteometry are essential. There are regional variations in species sizes combined with changes in bone sizes within and between taxa. Seasonality and animal migrations are demonstrated in the highl…

  • Post-Roman crop production and processing

    Cath Ross, Lynne F Gardiner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2016Cited by: 2References: 3

    The remains of a ditched field system dating from the late Iron Age to the early post-Roman period, and two associated corn drying ovens (dating to the 5th–6th centuries AD) were revealed during archaeological excavations at Goldthorpe, South Yorkshire. The site was excavated during 2012 and 2013, during which bulk environmental samples were taken in order to retrieve any surviving botanical remains from deposits associated with the corn drying o…

  • Ruwayda

    Andrew Petersen, Faisal Abdullah Al-Naimi et al.ARTICLEPost-Medieval Archaeology2016References: 3

    Ruwayda was first identified as an archaeological site in the 1970s and was excavated between 2009 and 2014. Despite a paucity of documentary evidence, this large settlement, which extends over an area of more than 90 hectares, contains a number of features indicative of an urban settlement including two mosques, a series of warehouses, a large multi-period fort, large courtyard houses interspersed with smaller, less substantial structures and a …

  • Deep-sea fishing in the Iron Age? New evidence from Broxmouth hillfort, South–east Scotland

    Hannah Russ, Ian Armit et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2012References: 3

    Rescue excavations carried out during the 1970s at the Iron Age hillfort of Broxmouth in East Lothian produced a small assemblage of fish bone. Despite some uncertainties surrounding the recovery of this material, recent analysis has produced highly unusual results. In particular, the presence of large specimens of ling and other species raises the possibility that the Broxmouth community was, at least periodically, engaged in deep-sea fishing. T…

  • Late Upper Palaeolithic fishing in the Fucino Basin, central Italy, a detailed analysis of the remains from Grotta di Pozzo

    Hannah Russ, Andrew K G JonesARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2009Cited by: 4References: 7

    Fish remains have been recovered from seven Upper Palaeolithic sites in the Fucino Basin, central Italy. Analyses of fish remains from one of these sites, Grotta di Pozzo, are presented here and discussed in relation to previous research on fish remains from other Fucino Basin sites. It is recognised that in previous studies little consideration has been given to identifying, or confirming accumulation agent(s) for fish remains. Three potential n…
