Abstract

Documentary evidence indicates dogs at Jamestown were famine food during the terrible winter of 1609–10 CE. This analysis highlights what these remains can tell us about the interactions between Native Virginians and European colonists, as well as early life in the fort for both colonists and dogs. This paper (1) documents the composition and taphonomic history of the dog remains, (2) determines animal body size and age, and (3) highlights the nature of human butchery. Our results indicate most Jamestown dogs have Indigenous ancestry, were primarily medium sized and younger in age, and served as a food source during the fort’s initial settlement.

从动物考古学分析看弗吉尼亚詹姆斯敦殖民地的人狗关系
文献证据表明,在公元 1609-10 年的严冬,詹姆斯敦的狗是饥荒的食物。本分析强调了这些遗骸可以告诉我们有关维尔京土著和欧洲殖民者之间的互动,以及殖民者和狗在要塞中的早期生活。本文(1)记录了狗遗骸的组成和粪便学历史,(2)确定了动物的体型和年龄,(3)突出了人类屠宰的性质。我们的研究结果表明,詹姆斯敦的大多数狗都有土著血统,体型中等,年龄较小,是要塞最初定居时期的食物来源。
