The Burmese hare as a palaeoecological indicator: A stable isotope analysis from archaeological sites in Thailand
Environmental Variation and Domestic Turkey Management in the Pre‐Hispanic Middle Rio Grande Valley
Domestic turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo ) are ubiquitous in the archaeofaunal record of the pre‐Hispanic US Southwest/Mexican Northwest. However, this ubiquity is not synonymous with uniformity in either use or management practices, and in fact, the avifaunal record of this region encompasses a great deal of variability. One potential driver for variation in past turkey management decisions—environmental differences—has been little explored. This …
Reconsidering archaeological garden hunting: A view from the northern U.S. Southwest
The Community at the Crossroads: Artiodactyl Exploitation and Socio-environmental Connectivity at Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581)
Situated at the junction of two canyons, one north–south and one east–west, Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) is within easy reach of a number of different ecoregions as well as on a boundary between two distinct culture areas, the Pueblo to the west and the Great Plains to the east. This position on the landscape may have created both challenges and opportunities for the residents of Tijeras Pueblo. While the elevation of Tijeras Canyon makes this locatio…
Ritual Deposition of Avifauna in the Northern Burial Cluster at Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon
Birds play an important role in modern and historic Puebloan ceremonialism, with feathers, wings, stuffed birds, and live birds used for ceremonies, sacrifices, and creation of ritual paraphernalia. Archaeological evidence suggests birds played an ideological and ritual role for some prehispanic Southwestern groups as well. Here, we explore the use of avian remains for ritual purposes at Pueblo Bonito by presenting new evidence from the northern …
New Directions in Southwestern Zooarchaeology
Zooarchaeology has occupied a peculiar place within the archaeology of the American Southwest. While archaeologists with an interest in animal bone have worked here from the nineteenth century onward, and the presence of taxa such as macaws, domestic dogs, and domestic turkeys as well as taxa more commonly used in subsistence in southwestern zooarchaeological assemblages is of interest to archaeologists outside the Southwest as well as within it,…
