Abstract:

Over the last twenty years attempts have been made to determine the nature of Upper Palaeolithic hunting specialization. This chapter traces assemblage structural ‘specialization’, where faunal assemblages are dominated by a single species, vs ‘diversity’, in which all recorded species are well represented, between 45,000 and 10,000 bp (Châtelperronian to Azilian), and demonstrates regularity in the archaeozoological record. It moves away from the assumption that assemblages with at least 90% of bones attributable to a single species result from specialized hunting strategies, and seeks explanations for patterns of diversification. The study also deals with the Late Glacial Maximum with its narrowing resource base and the Magdalenian of southwest France, when specialized reindeer hunting is traditionally considered of paramount importance. The chapter uses measures of diversity and evenness to quantify variation observed through time, highlighting a peak in single-species exploitation during the Middle Upper Palaeolithic. Finally, interpretations are offered for future consideration.

Abstract:

The first human populations colonized the Bismarck Archipelago about 40,000 years ago. The zooarchaeological evidence from Buang Merabak (New Ireland) reveals that, at a first stage, hunter-gatherers only focused on the exploitation of local faunal resources, especially cave-dwelling bats and varanids. As for other Pleistocene assemblages, the contribution of fish to the diet is negligible. Introduced species appear since about 23,050 cal bp with the northern common cuscus (endemic of New Guinea), although bats still provided most of the meat consumed at the site. In later times, the cuscus dominates the assemblage, partially replacing cave-dwelling bats, and the wallaby is also introduced from New Guinea. The introduction and increasing consumption of the cuscus had major implications in terms of land use and mobility. The initial focus on cave-dwelling bats implied shorter stays at sites and required constant movements through the landscape; the shift towards cuscus consumption reduced mobility.

Abstract:

Permafrost-preserved faunal assemblages from Arctic archaeological sites provide a high-resolution record of animal exploitation, ancient ecosystems, and climate. This chapter provides a review of what more than 90 years of archaeofaunal research has revealed about human-animal relationships in the Arctic and Aleutian Subarctic. Taking an alternate approach, the overview focuses on the evidence for the procurement, butchery, storage, and consumption of specific northern vertebrate and molluscan taxa, beginning from the earliest archaeological traces and tracking exploitation strategies geographically through time and space. Additionally, related paleoecological research, methodological advancements, and studies which address the social and ideational correlates of animal exploitation and consumption are reviewed.

Abstract:

This chapter reviews evidence for the exploitation of animals in Medieval northwest Russia, highlighting the evidence from the town of Novgorod and its hinterland. The zooarchaeological evidence from this region has been complemented by other sources of archaeological and documentary evidence. Most faunal assemblages are dominated by cattle, which were of small stature and exploited mainly for their meat and milk. There is evidence that pigs became less important in later periods. Sheep and goat were poorly represented on most sites, but with goats forming a higher proportion of the sheep/goat remains than on many other European sites. Evidence for fur trade in the region comes mainly from sites deep in the forest zone. Horsemeat was consumed, although horses were mainly valued as transport animals. The high-status site of Ryurik Gorodishche produced evidence for organized carcass-processing, ritual deposition of horse skulls, and the import of exotic species.

Abstract:

Excavations of a gravel pit in 2011 and 2012 near the town of Villa Grove in the San Luis Valley of Colorado yielded several Pleistocene megafauna and small mammal fossils. We describe and analyze the fauna from the site and illustrate how this assemblage provides insights into Colorado high-altitude basin ecosystems during the Late Pleistocene. Extant taxa from the site include Brachylagus idahoensis, Cynomys cf. gunnisoni, Lemmiscus curtatus, Lepussp., cf. Sylvilagus nuttallii, and Urocitellus sp. Extinct taxa recovered include Camelops sp., Canis dirus, Equus cf. conversidens, and Mammuthus columbi. An unidentified species of Bison likely constitutes an extinct species, and Brachylagus idahoensis and Canis dirus are the first fossil occurrences of these taxa in Colorado. The genera Brachylagus, Lemmiscus, and Urocitellusare currently found in northern Colorado but not in the San Luis Valley. The fossil assemblage suggests that a sage brush-prevalent plains environment persisted in this region during the Wisconsin anglaciation, possibly comparable to that of the Great Basin.

Abstract:

Regional variations in the subsistence practices of New Zealand’s indigenous Maori were recognized by the first Europeans who studied them closely in the late eighteenth century. There is now a critical need to reassess the evidence for both regional and chronological variations in evidence for the types and relative importance of the foods that prehistoric Maori ate to establish when, where, and how changes took place. Reliably dated archaeological assemblages from two New Zealand study areas are examined to generate estimates of the dietary energy harvested from major classes of fauna. These reveal changes over time which are attributable to human predation, and regional differences that reflect differing trajectories of human population growth.

Abstract:

Marine resources were, and continue to be, dietary mainstays of Pacific Island communities. In this article, archaeological fish-bone assemblages from twelve central-east Polynesian (CEP) islands are used to examine spatial and temporal patterning in indigenous marine fisheries in the first millennium ad. Settled by biologically and culturally closely related peoples from western Polynesia, CEP colonists encountered a familiar but biologically impoverished fish fauna. Common cultural and faunistic origins, in combination with ecologically diverse seascapes, make CEP an ideal setting for investigating long-term social-natural interactions. Most spatial variability appears linked to natural fish abundances, but a distinctive and geographically circumscribed colonizer strategy targeting pelagic fishes is also identified. Over time, fishing declines, inshore fisheries intensify and angling is reduced while mass harvesting increases. Harvesting impacts are sometimes intimated but generally not well demonstrated. The causes underlying these processes are considered, along with methodological improvements that would enhance regional comparisons.
