The ways that pigs interact with humans are more flexible than other livestock. This plasticity means pig behaviour can evidence a tremendous range of cultural phenomena, some which may not otherwise show up in the archaeological record. We explore how people and interacted Ireland over 6000 years (4000 BC–AD 1900) from perspective isotopic zooarchaeology, using large sample 40 sites. Results demonstrate continuity dramatic change. While diets an emphasis on pannage throughout much period,...
Abstract A 19 th ‐century dog burial uncovered from a historical homelot in Toronto, Canada, provided unique opportunity to reconstruct the individual's osteobiography. Of particular interest are dog's very large size and suite of skeletal pathologies. Recovery nearly complete skeleton combined with use X‐rays micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) allowed for discriminating differential diagnoses. Stable isotope analyses were applied investigate questions diet. Results reveal an individual...
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) may provide a low-cost, minimally destructive method for sourcing archaeological cherts in Ontario. In this article we outline study to characterize chert samples from geological sources Ontario and identify the raw material of small number specimens late sixteenth century A.D. Neutral Iroquoian Emmerson Springs site. We compare our results with those an earlier that used FT-IR determine if selected excellent knapping qualities contain...
Stable isotope–based paleodietary work is ideally suited for answering questions about a wide variety of human/animal relationships in historical archaeological contexts northeastern North America and farther afield. To date, very few published studies have approached animal husbandry trade from an isotopic perspective. We advocate increased attention to the possibilities stable-isotope by (1) explaining why technique well address some problems relations encountered archaeologists, (2)...
Allometry and growth-increment aging of archaeological fish remains has the potential to reveal much about past fishing strategies, processing trade, populations. This paper documents age size characteristics four samples Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) bones from early European contexts at Red Bay, Ferryland, Bay Bulls, Crouse, which collectively span middle 16th 19th centuries AD. The samples, document structure "fished" population (the death assemblage), allow for a comparison strategies...
Pet cemeteries provide a unique opportunity to investigate the development of human-animal relationships, yet few archaeological studies these have been undertaken. This article presents an survey gravestones at British pet from Victorian period present. These memorials evidence for perceived roles animals, suggesting often conflicted relationship between humans and companion animals in society—from beloved pets valued family members—and increasing belief animal afterlives. The results are...
For its fifth edition, our overview of global post-medieval/historical archaeology takes a slightly different format, with curated set articles about the Baltic states. An introduction by Erki...
A critical examination of the relationships between food and identity is explored among early British American Loyalist settlers in Upper Canada (southern Ontario) from late 18th to 19th centuries. This research synthesizes zooarchaeological data region interprets these alongside historical texts address how meat was incorporated into immigrant diets. Previous scholarship generally agreed that pork played a dominant role Canadian cuisine residents first settling area were particularly...
sub-discipline is not only growing, but maturing, becoming valued by researchers, legislators and the public alike; particularly in pan-European world.
