Eating Ethnicity: Examining 18th Century French Colonial Identity Through Selective Consumption of Animal Resources in the North American Interior (2004)
Cultural identities can be created and maintained through daily practice and food consumption is one such practice. People need food in order to survive, but the types of food they eat are largely determined by the interaction of culture and their environment. By approaching the topic of subsistence practices as being culturally constituted, the study of foodways provides an avenue to examine issues of cultural identity through selective consumption. Eating certain foods to the exclusion of...

The subject of this analysis of stylistic variation is the pottery known as Classic Mimbres Black on White, specifically the naturalistic bowls, which display images of animals and/or humans. In an effort to locate and identify some meaningful signifiers within the iconographic repertoire of the Mimbres culture, the approach of pattern recognition is utilized. A number of design elements were chosen upon completion of a preliminary study which showed promise of demonstrating some...
