This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological evidence from the California Channel Islands has provided insight on the important role fish played in daily human subsistence practices. San Nicolas Island is home to a rich and diverse marine environment containing the largest kelp forest along the Southern California Bight. This study focuses on fish data from a middle to late Holocene...
Zooarchaeological Analysis of Subsistence Practices at the Lake Roberts Vista Site (LA71877), Gila National Forest, New Mexico (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Current Zooarchaeology: New and Ongoing Approaches" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Faunal subsistence practices remain understudied throughout the Mimbres region, even as the general pattern of large-mammal resource reduction through time is known. This poster documents the faunal subsistence practices at Lake Roberts Vista (LRV), a Mimbres site occupied during the Late Pithouse (LPH) and Classic Mimbres (CM) periods...

Zooarchaeological Analysis of Vertebrate Remains from the Santa Cruz Coast (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Current Insights into Pyrodiversity and Seascape Management on the Central California Coast" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent indigenous, eco-archaeological, and low-impact field research on the Central California Coast resulted in the excavation of four sites that were inhabited from the mid-Holocene to the contact period. Vertebrate remains from these sites were sampled using fine-grained recovery methods...
Zooarchaeological Evidence of Human Niche Construction at the Harris Site (LA 1867) (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Mogollon, Mimbres, and Salado Archaeology in Southwest New Mexico and Beyond" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Harris Site (LA 1867) is a Late Pithouse period (AD 550–1000) agricultural village located along the upper Mimbres River Valley in New Mexico. This period is seen as a time of great demographic and social change linked to changes in the environment. This site provides an excellent case study looking at...

Zooarchaeological Insights from Upper Delaware (2016)
Analyses of faunal assemblages dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are able to show how domestic livestock and wild fauna were managed, collected, and consumed by colonial and post-colonial New Castle County, Delaware farmers and their laborers. Animal species, their numbers, and butchery marks on their bones reveal identities, possible coping strategies and/or cuisine in rural Delaware. These faunal remains are also able to provide some data that can allow archaeologists to...
Zooarchaeological Investigations of a Cultural Keystone Place at Point Conception, Southern California (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. On the southern California coast, Point Conception is highly significant for Chumash peoples and demarcates a critical location of ecological diversity. At this location, the coastline abruptly shifts from a north-south to east-west trending shoreline and marks the ecological convergence of colder northern and warmer southern waters, a biogeographic...

A Zooarchaeological Reassessment of the Parrots of Chaco Canyon (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Birds in Archaeology: New Approaches to Understanding the Diverse Roles of Birds in the Past" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the earliest recovery of their remains in the 1890s, the parrots of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, have featured prominently in discussions of Chacoan trade, social complexity, ceremonial organization, and symbolism and ritual. Despite their prominence in interpretations of the canyon’s primary...
Zooarchaeological Remains and Their Impact on Land Management Decisions: An Example from Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2008, during geoarchaeological survey of a portion of Tijeras Arroyo located on Kirtland Air Force Base, researchers located remains of bison in four new locations. This includes a Bison occidentalis skull which was found in soils that were dated to 5600 to 5700 BP. Using techniques from zooarchaeology these remains are aiding archaeologists and natural...
The Zooarchaeological Remains from San Miguel de Carnué (LA 12924) (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Zooarchaeological Research at Pueblo Grande: Preclassic and Classic Period Hohokam Hunting and Fishing Patterns (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the late 1930s, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) crew under the direction of Albert H. Schroeder excavated Trash Mound No. 1, a Preclassic Colonial period deposit (A.D. 775-950) at the extensive Hohokam site of Pueblo Grande along the Salt River in Phoenix, Arizona. This material remained largely unanalyzed at the Pueblo Grande Museum and results of...
Zooarchaeology and Commerce at the Old Village of St. Louis: An Examination of the Berger Site (23SL2402) (2019)
This is an abstract from the "From Iliniwek to Ste Genevieve: Early Commerce along the Mississippi" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since 2013, Missouri Department of Transportation archaeologists have investigated grounds that are being impacted by rehabilitation of the Poplar Street Bridge in downtown St. Louis, an area that was part of the original village that was platted in 1764. Late in 2016, excavations at the Berger site revealed possible...

Zooarchaeology and the Siege of Fort Stanwix: Reconstructing an American Revolution Landscape (2018)
Recently, National Park Service archeologists at Fort Stanwix National Monument, Rome, N.Y., excavated a previously undisturbed feature after an inadvertent discovery was unearthed during trenching to connect city water to a new fire suppression system at the reconstructed fort. Data recovery and laboratory analysis of artifacts confirmed the feature dated to the siege of Fort Stanwix by British forces during August 1777. Observations of taphonomic signatures present on faunal remains indicate...
Zooarchaeology of Domestic Activities at a Weeden Island Shell Ring in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge (2018)
The purpose of this research is to examine different domestic activities at the Mound Field site (8Wa8), a Weeden Island shell ring in Wakulla County, Florida. Zooarchaeological analysis was conducted on the faunal remains recovered in 2016 from six excavation units at Mound Field. These units represent different hypothesized areas of domestic activities from across the site. The differential deposition of food remains may reveal more about the patterns of activities in which people...

Zooarchaeology of Historic Fort Snelling (21HE99) and the Native Ecology of Bdote (2018)
Animal remains from Fort Snelling in Minnesota provide detailed information about the native ecology of the Twin Cities metropolitan area before it was irrevocably changed by urbanization. This paper presents a case study of the Officers’ Latrine feature, with dated deposits ranging from 1824 to 1865. The assemblage is incredibly well preserved, and includes a significant variety of wild bird remains. These and other animal species reveal aspects of the original upland prairie, floodplain forest...
The Zooarchaeology of LA 20,000 (2018)
Identity is a complex entity that is constantly being remade and altered, so to understand the development of the New Mexican identity in the 17th century, one must understand the various parts that make up an identity. This poster examines one of these parts: the foodways of New Mexico. Specifically, this project is examining the faunal deposits from LA 20,000, the largest Spanish estancia in early colonial New Mexico (1598-1680). The meat-component of the diet from a 17th century Spanish...
