Food and Fortitude: A Story of Life within Presidio San Sabá as Told through Zooarchaeological Analysis

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Presidio San Sabá was the largest military outpost in the Texas region during the mid-eighteenth century. This research project is a continuation of Dr. Fradkin and Dr. Walters’s previous faunal analysis conducted on a portion of the site’s assemblage. This inquiry will focus on comparing the areas within the interior plaza to provide insight into dietary practices and to see if socioeconomic status use of certain areas can be inferred. This study will incorporate the use of their hunted versus domestic resources, aquatic versus terrestrial animals, element selection, butchery practices, size class, hunting practices, and the potential consumptions of horses and bison.
