A Bioarchaeological Investigation of Stature, Lower A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF STATURE, LOWER LIMB PROPORTIONALITY, AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN PREHISTORIC CENTRAL CALIFORNIA ____________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Chico ____________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Anthropology ____________ by Janet E. Finlayson Spring 2014 A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF STATURE, LOWER LIMB PROPORTIONALITY, AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN PREHISTORIC CENTRAL CALIFORNIA A Thesis by Janet E. Finlayson Spring 2014 APPROVED BY THE DEAN OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND VICE PROVOST FOR RESEARCH: _________________________________ Eun K. Park, Ph.D. APPROVED BY THE GRADUATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE: ______________________________ _________________________________ Guy Q. King, Ph.D. Eric J. Bartelink, Ph.D., Chair Graduate Coordinator _________________________________ Frank E. Bayham, Ph.D. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, my committee deserves acknowledgement. My chair, Dr. Eric J. Bartelink, invests a tremendous amount of time and effort into every one of his students, and has been a wonderful advisor to me. His tireless effort and generosity to his students is truly astounding and I could not have asked for a more dedicated mentor. My second committee member, Dr. Frank E. Bayham, was always willing to sit down with me and share his infinite wisdom. Dr. Bayham always had a smile, a bit of advice, and good words to keep me motivated. Additionally, Dr. Colleen Milligan and Dr. P. Willey deserve recognition. Dr. Milligan always lent me an open ear or two when I needed it the most, be it for personal or academic reasons. Dr. P. Willey spread his infectious appreciation of data to me from the start of my career, as well as his adventurous spirit for California’s beautiful outdoors. It was an honor to work with these individuals, as well as the entirety of the CSU, Chico Anthropology Department during my time there. Although I moved about as far away as I possibly could within the country from my family and circumstances rarely permitted me to visit my home state, my family has always sent their support and bottles of Michigan maple syrup. Finally, Corey has been a constant source of unconditional moral support throughout my academic journey. His patience and love for all things in the world makes me a truly lucky human. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Acknowledgments ...................................................................................................... iii List of Tables.............................................................................................................. vi List of Figures............................................................................................................. vii Abstract....................................................................................................................... x CHAPTER I.

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/DOI: 10.1007/s10814-017-9104-4. 1 Abstract Interest in the study of foodways through an archaeological lens, particularly in the American Southeast, is evident in the abundance of literature on this topic over the past decade. Foodways as a concept includes all of the activities, rules, and meanings that surround the production, harvesting, processing, cooking, serving, and consumption of food. We study foodways and components of foodways archaeologically through direct and indirect evidence. The current synthesis is concerned with research themes in the archaeology of Southeastern foodways, including feasting, gender, social and political status, and food insecurity. In this review I explore the information that can be learned from material remains of the foodstuffs themselves and the multiple lines of evidence that can help us better understand the meanings, rituals, processes, and cultural meanings and motivations of foodways. Key words: Feasts, Gender, Socioeconomic status, Food security 2 Introduction Foodways are the foundation of all archaeological studies.

  • Coastal Subsistence and Settlement Systems on the Northern Gulf
    COASTAL SUBSISTENCE AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS ON THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO, USA by CARLA JANE SCHMID HADDEN (Under the Direction of Elizabeth J. Reitz) ABSTRACT This research presents a synthesis of the zooarchaeology and site seasonality data for the northern Gulf of Mexico from the Late Archaic through Woodland periods (ca. 5000 B.C. to A.D. 1100). Three questions are addressed: (1) Was the coast occupied on a seasonal basis? (2) Were there one or many coastal subsistence strategies? (3) Were coastal economies and ecosystems stable over the scale of millennia? Archaeological data suggest the coastal zone was not wholly abandoned during any season of the year, although sites varied throughout the year in terms of population density, intensity of site use, or intensity of fishing and shellfishing efforts. There were at least three patterns of animal exploitation on the Gulf Coast: specialized estuarine shellfishing, generalized estuarine fishing, and generalized marine shellfishing. Specialized estuarine shellfishing, a pattern focused on intensive exploitation of oysters, was an early and long-lived adaptation to highly productive salt marsh habitats. Subsistence strategies diversified during the Woodland period, shifting from intensive exploitation of salt marshes to extensive exploitation of an array of estuarine and marine habitats. Marked variability among contemporaneous sites over small geographic scales suggests that coastal dwellers had access to different resources by virtue of their proximity to habitats and resource patches, perhaps reflecting cultural attitudes towards access rights, ownership, and territoriality. Different resources also required different procurement techniques and technologies, and had different potential uses. These distinctions likely influenced the formation of place-based social identities, as well as involvements in local and regional exchange networks.

Heizer and Albert B. Elsasser with the assistance of C. William Clewlow, Jr. Available Open Access at: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/8xz7r26t PREFACE One of the present compilers in 1949 presented a bibliography on the same subject and same title as REPORT No. 4 of the California Archaeological Survey. The 1949 bibliography ran to 27 pages - about one third of the length of the present list. We offer the present work not as a complete reference list to publications on the subject, but rather as an interim and admittedly incomplete bibliography which may be of assistance in locating information on regional archaeology. We have generally avoided listing papers which have appeared in short-lived, usually mimeo- graphed, newsletters. There are dozens of these fugitive series, and in some cases they report useful data, but since they are not regularly available there seems little purpose in citing them. A useful project would be for some person to compile a reference collection of them in some library or research facility where they could be consulted.
