“…A second approach was also conducted using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on data quantified by the Index of Relative Abundance (IRA) following the research of Hastorf et al (2005). The advantage is that it combines the concepts of taxa abundance and ubiquity into a single index.…”

An area between land and water was chosen in the 7th century BC by native Gauls and foreign Etruscan and Greek merchants to establish a commercial enclave. Then, in the early 5th century BC, this initial settlement at La Cougourlude with post-built houses on the banks of the small coastal river Lironde was relocated to the margins of a nearby lagoon along the Mediterranean coast, giving rise to the walled port city of Lattara. Archaeological excavations undertaken in the 2000s along the southern wall of Lattara in Quarter 27 revealed three houses which contained almost exclusively Etruscan pottery. The objective of this study is to analyse the archaeobotanical remains from these dwellings so as to identify the plant foods which were consumed and used by their inhabitants, as well as the methods of storage. The question arises whether anything particularly relating to Etruscan origins can be detected from the diet of the inhabitants. To study this aspect we have compared the data collected during the excavation with research undertaken at neighbouring settlements dating from periods either older, contemporary with or younger than Lattara, as well as research undertaken at sites in the Etruscan area of Italy.

“…Inca and Spanish heads of state required subjects to plant trees and supply fuel as tribute (Ansión 1986;Chepstow-Lusty and Winfield 2000;Hastorf et al 2005;Johannessen and Hastorf 1990;Sherbondy 1986). After Spanish conquest, mining center Potosí required huge quantities of fuel, leading to wood depletion for many kilometers around (Godoy 1984).…”

This paper analyzes the material, discursive, and biophysical dimensions of fuelscapes, or energy landscapes. Ethnographic and ecological fieldwork was conducted in the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, Peru. Andean land use studies have focused on agricultural patterns such as vertical production zones. Fuelscapes are an important, energy-based means of producing and representing landscape. They show how uncultivated lands fit into livelihood strategies and reflect historic sedimentation of landscape. Fuelscapes are shaped by ecological characteristics, historic settlement patterns and property rights, gendered and intergenerational divisions in household labor, and state conservation policies. Conservation policies delimit fuelscapes to privilege live trees, but the resultant denudation of dead wood may carry implications for ecosystem health. This study elucidates how official policies intersect with household and communal resource use strategies to produce Andean fuelscapes. It provides insight into how uncultivated ecosystems fit into land use politics, practices, and representation.
