The Archaeology of Christmas Cakes
Like ceramic pots excavated by archaeologists, dishes, for which recipes provide detailed instructions, also can be treated as a form of material culture and analyzed to reveal the socioeconomic conditions prevailing when they were made. The Christmas Cake that originated in Victorian England from a long-standing tradition of rich fruit cakes became an important and persistent category in twentieth century New Zealand. As a complex cake with many…
Human Domestication Reconsidered
In scientific usage, domestication has come to mean the process by which humans transformed wild animals and plants into more useful products through control of their breeding. Certain physical and behavioural changes have been identified as criteria of domestication. They include morphological changes affecting the skeletons of early Middle Eastern domesticates (e.g., reduction in size and skeletal robusticity, craniofacial shortening, and decli…
Intensification in the Pacific: A Critique of the Archaeological Criteria and Their Application
Recent questioning of unexamined assumptions in Boserup's agricultural development sequence inspires a critical review of the archaeological criteria for intensification. The concept of intensification has been widely used in Pacific archaeological sequences and has been linked to both population growth and sociopolitical competition within limited land areas. However, intensification is difficult to demonstrate in prehistoric contexts with the r…
The terminology of agricultural origins and food production systems-a horticultural perspective
We live, most of us, in agricultural societies; our food comes from the farm. We make gardens, many of us, and we eat some of the plants that we grow there. That farming is not the same as gardening we see in the responses of western observers when they made contact with societies whose food came more from the garden than the farm. A gardener's view of food makes its own story
