Foodways of La Concord/ Queen Anne’s Revenge

Summary

This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The focus of this poster will be the three groups of individuals who, at one point, sailed aboard Queen Anne's Revenge. This poster will answer the question of what French Navy Men, the enslaved, and pirates may have eaten during the early 18th century. As well as, how they may have prepared and served their food during sail and docking. The main method used would be Historiography and comparative research of other known sailing vessels of the early 18th century, possible records of rations of the French Navy, and trade records of enslaved individuals. The research will also be conducted using the NCDCR QAR Conservation lab and the artifacts of the wreck. The results of this research will provide a deeper insight into the lives of these three groups of individuals where there may not have been before.
