Animal diaspora and culture change (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Naomi Sykes. Holly Miller.

Animal introductions are frequently equated with the introduction of new dietary ingredients; however, this paper will argue that access to 'meat' is seldom the motivation for the importation of exotic species. By examining a number of case-studies pertaining to Britain it will be proposed that many faunal introductions were both inspired by, and resulted in, social, economic and ideological change. Many species were associated with specific deities and because they were imported from beyond the...

Biological exchange in the Swahili world: archaeofaunal and biomolecular evidence (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary Prendergast. Michael Buckley. Heidi Eager. Alison Crowther. Nicole Boivin.

The Swahili coast, stretching from Somalia to Mozambique, has a long history of engagement in western Indian Ocean trade, from at least the first century CE according to documentary evidence. One result is the widespread use of animals of Asian origin – particularly zebu cattle (Bos indicus) and chicken (Gallus gallus) – in African subsistence systems today. However, tracing these animals’ arrival and spread is complicated by their osteological similarities to indigenous taxa and by poor...

DECODING THE SWAHILI: ANCIENT DNA STUDIES ON THE KENYAN COAST (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sloan Williams. Lindsey Proctor. Chapurukha Kusimba. Janet Monge. Alan Morris.

Our project examines the role of migration in the development of the large autonomous Swahili towns and city-states that grew out of small fishing, agrarian, and pastoral settlements on the East African coast in the late first millennium CE. Our sample is comprised of 97 individuals from three sites on the Kenya coast: Mtwapa (N=72; 900-1732 BCE) near Mombasa, and two sites in the Lamu archipelago, Manda (N=16; 800-1400 BCE), and Shanga (N=9; 800-1400 BCE). The teeth were well preserved and...

Detecting Domestication of the Four Corners Potato (Solanum jamesii Torr.) (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lisbeth Louderback. Bruce Pavlik. Alfonso del Rio. John Bamberg.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The process of domestication is essential for producing nutritious foods that can be grown, harvested, stored and eaten. Recent evidence suggests that a novel potato species, known as the Four Corners Potato (Solanum jamesii Torr.) was manipulated by ancient people sometime during the last 12,000 years. The tubers might have been an important food and...

Dog Domestication and the Dual Dispersal of People and Dogs into the Americas (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Angela Perri.

This is an abstract from the "Dogs in the Archaeological Record" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Advances in the isolation and sequencing of ancient DNA have begun to reveal the population histories of both people and dogs. Over the last 10,000 years, the genetic signatures of ancient dog remains have been linked with known human dispersals in regions such as the Arctic and the remote Pacific. It is suspected, however, that this relationship has a...

Human dispersal or environmental selection? Using genetics to decode diversity in millet landraces across Eurasia (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Natalia Przelomska. Harriet Hunt. James Cockram. Frances Bligh. Martin Jones.

Eurasian millets (genera Panicum and Setaria) are amongst the world’s oldest cereal crops, with evidence of cultivation in China from 10,000 years cal BP. Archaeobotanical evidence also indicates the presence of domesticated millet in Europe as early as 7,000 years cal BP. New archaeological evidence coming to light suggests that these important staple food crops were part of a 'Trans-Eurasian exchange' during prehistory. Traditional cultivars, or 'landraces', of millet have been preserved in...

Invasive or endemic? Management implications of archaeological data in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Catherine West. Courtney Hofman. Steven Ebbert.

The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge maintains more than 2000 islands, where invasive species management and eradication are the focus of conservation and landscape reconstruction efforts. While written records from the Russian and American eras document the introduction of many species, including red fox (Vulpes vulpes), arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), and cattle (Bos taurus), little is known about the introduction and dispersal of the arctic ground squirrel (Spermophilus paryii) in this...
