“…Selain itu, para ahli arkeologi pun berusaha membuat sebuah konsep analisis terhadap segala macam pengaruh fauna dalam kehidupan dan interaksi manusia. Model analisis inilah yang kemudian sering disebut sebagai kajian analisis arkeofauna (Davis, 1987;Landon, 2005). Kajian arkeofauna ini memiliki banyak penamaan dan peristilahan (Casteel & Grayson, 1977;Lyman, 1994), meskipun demikian, kajian ini tetap perlu dilakukan dengan pertimbangan pentingnya data kehadiran fauna dalam satu ruang aktivitas jelajah manusia masa lampau.…”

This study aims to provide a description of the fauna that once interacted with a human in the Bontocani karst Area in Bone District. Of the few excavated sites providing data availability of bone fragments that can be analyzed by conducting comparative studies with existing faunal composition of the fauna. The method of data collection is by excavation at some sites in this Karst Area. The results of this study document a wide range of vertebrates in the Balang Metti fauna including fish, frogs/toads, lizards, snakes, birds, Strigocuscus, Ailurops ursinus, insectivorous bats, Sulawesi monkeys, rats, Sulawesi pigs, babirusa and Anoa. In some layers of culture, the absence of anoa, indicates the environmental change from the environment of the fields and the weeds to the wet rain forest environment around the site, along with the extinction of this fauna. Based on the identified fauna bone analysis, it is illustrated that past habitats and environments in Bontocani Karst area have not changed much. Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan gambaran secara lebih jelas tentang fauna-fauna yang pernah berinteraksi dengan manusia pendukung kebudayaan yang ada di Kawasan Karst Bontocani di Kabupaten Bone. Beberapa situs yang telah diekskavasi memberikan ketersediaan data berupa fragmen tulang yang dapat dianalisis dengan melakukan studi komparasi dengan komposisi tulang fauna yang ada saat ini. Metode pengumpulan data yang dilakukan adalah dengan ekskavasi di beberapa situs yang ada di Kawasan Karst ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar jenis fauna yang ditemukan di situs ini adalah fauna bertulang belakang antara lain: ikan, kodok/katak, kadal, ular, burung, strigocuscus, Ailurops ursinus, kelelawar pemakan serangga, monyet sulawesi, tikus, babi sulawesi, babi russa dan anoa. Pada beberapa lapisan budaya, tidak adanya temuan fauna anoa, menunjukkan perubahan lingkungan dari lingkungan padang dan ilalang menjadi lingkungan hutan hujan basah di sekitar situs, seiring dengan punahnya fauna ini. Berdasarkan analisis tulang fauna yang berhasil diidentifikasi digambarkan bahwa habitat dan lingkungan masa lampau di Kawasan Karst Bontocani tidak banyak mengalami perubahan.

“…A avaliação das condições de formação de um depósito arqueológico preservado com estratigrafia, assim como dos processos e agentes naturais ou antrópicos que levaram à acumulação de restos de natureza animal ou vegetal, em conjunto com os artefactos propriamente ditos, consiste numa das etapas fundamentais do estudo e interpretação de arqueossítios (e.g. CLAASSEN 1998;LANDON 2005). As análises tafonómicas, embora desenvolvidas inicialmente no âmbito da Paleontologia (tafonomia e fossilização), alargaram-se nas últimas décadas aos contextos arqueológicos, facto que faz sentido, dada a componente interdisciplinar de bioarqueologia que estes pressupõem (e.g.…”

O estudo integrado conchas de moluscos presentes em sítios arqueológicos constitui um dos principais aspetos da Zooarqueologia. A abordagem metodológica dos contextos de campo e das amostragens recolhidas compreende vários tópicos interligados, incluindo a sistemática e taxonomia, a tafonomia, a análise estatística e biométrica, a paleoecologia de indivíduos, populações e paleocomunidades e a análise paleobiogeográfica e paleoclimática, para além de outros relacionados com a intervenção humana, incluindo o consumo e a economia alimentares, e a utilização como utensílios e adornos. No decurso das últimas duas décadas, estes aspetos têm vindo a ser progressivamente implementados no estudo interdisciplinar de contextos arqueológicos portugueses de diferentes idades, revelando a importância emergente das análises integradas e transversais, fruto de uma colaboração mais ativa entre os arqueólogos e paleontólogos e biólogos interessados em faunas do Plistocénico e Holocénico.

“…Archaeological studies have shown that colonists also innovatively incorporated native resources into their diets (e.g., Dudek, Kaplan, & King, ; Landon, , ; Reitz & Honerkamp, ; Reitz & Scarry, ). By the 1800s, European colonists had settled into a mixed diet of domesticates raised on local land plots or purchased at markets and wild foods taken opportunistically.…”

“…In the case of domestic bird taxa, sister taxa of these species already existed in the New World (e.g., grouse, quail, ducks, turkey, and Canada goose) and as a result could provide similar commodities to domestic taxa. Examination of faunal reports suggests that introduced domesticates—mainly chicken and some goose—and native turkey are most commonly identified, whereas other wild birds consistently, but minimally, augmented diet throughout the Colonial period (Landon, ; Roy, ).…”

A reevaluation of bird taxonomic identifications at Contact‐ and historic‐era North American sites

Domestic chickens (Gallus domesticus) and turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are identified more frequently than other bird species in bone assemblages from historic sites in North America. Recent studies on the effectiveness of metric data for identification of galliform bones found high degrees of similarity in size and morphology between wild game birds (e.g., grouse and ptarmigan) and multiple domestic or introduced species (e.g., chicken and pheasant). This finding suggests that wild taxa and less common domesticates may have been misidentified as chicken and as a result are underrepresented in these historic datasets. In this paper, we evaluate the precision of bird taxonomic identifications from five Contact‐ and historic‐era sites in New York State, comparing the initial taxon designations recorded in site reports with our new identifications derived from a combination of comparative morphological and osteometric analyses. After our analysis of the assemblages, game bird diversity at most of the sites expanded, as did the prevalence of other orders (e.g., Anseriformes and Strigiformes). The updated identifications highlight the diversity of birds used in historic contexts and the importance of combining multiple analytical methods to increase accuracy.
