Anarchy in the New-Found-Land: Winter Houses and Decentralized Power in the Rural North Atlantic (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anatolijs Venovcevs.

Up until recently, historical archaeologists working on the island of Newfoundland have focused primarily on studying the rich archaeological remains of the summer cod fishery and the plantations left behind by the island’s mercantile aristocracy. However, this work overlooks the social realities of the island that primarily consisted of small coastal communities inhabited primarily by working class fishing families living far away from any obvious authority figures. This paper seeks to...

Gendering herding: an ethnoarchaeology of transhumant settlements in the west of Ireland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Eugene M Costello.

In much of Ireland, from early medieval times up to the 19th century, it was common practice to take livestock - cattle especially - up to the hills and mountains for the summer. This was a small-scale transhumance known as booleying, and involved the relocation of a minority of people with livestock to the upland areas. Here they lived in summer (booley) huts and tended to milch cows. The remains of these structures are now the best archaeological evidence of the practice ever taking place....

The Market on the Edge: Production, Consumption, and Recycling in Winter Houses of Transhumant Euro-Newfoundlanders (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anatolijs Venovcevs.

While the nineteenth century transformed North America through explosive growth in industrialization and consumerism, growth in Newfoundland, one of Europe’s oldest overseas colonies, was constrained by its harsh climate. Much like in centuries earlier, industrial-era Newfoundlanders continued to rely on its one fickle and seasonal resource – cod. To mitigate the erratic nature of this aquatic mono-crop, many rural Euro-Newfoundlanders participated in a form of transhumance spending up to six or...

Pastoralism and Nomadism: An Archaeological Bifurcation (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Florin Curta.

This is an abstract from the "New Work in Medieval Archaeology, Part 1: Landscapes, Food, and Health" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite great advances in the archaeology of nomadism, in Eastern Europe, medieval nomads are still associated archaeologically with burials in prehistoric barrows, along with horses or parts of the horse body. Huns, Avars, and Magyars are all labeled "nomads," but the actual conditions for nomadism in the Carpathian...
