These artefacts were used as a public demonstration of cultural and personal wealth, taste, and could possess apotropaic characteristics. They mark the desire to communicate social status, accumulated monetary wealth, faith, social beliefs, prophylactic functions, and it is also possible to understand their diachronic significance in their extended use through time. The combs were made using different raw materials, though the ones presented here are tortoiseshell. They exhibited the use of elements of European taste but were manufactured from exogenous materials, courtesy of Portuguese overseas endeavours, and affected by accompanying transformations in tastes and fashion.","PeriodicalId":43560,"journal":{"name":"Post-Medieval Archaeology","volume":"57 1","pages":"29 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42572413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present data from unpublished financial records and provide a compilation of all archaeological findings of turkeys from the geographical area of present-day Sweden. The results show that turkeys, first imported by Duke Karl of Sweden in the 1580s, had spread to the Swedish nobility by the 1610s. During the first decades of turkey husbandry in Sweden, turkeys were items of conspicuous consumption, used to show off during elite dinners and as gifts to peers and subsequently also to subordinates. During the 17th century, the bird was adopted by the urban upper middle class. Early modern Swedish turkeys were small, and likely less affected by selective breeding when compared to modern heritage-breed turkeys.","PeriodicalId":43560,"journal":{"name":"Post-Medieval Archaeology","volume":"57 1","pages":"1 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47342929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey reveals a palimpsest landscape which preserves extensive military and civilian ‘plantation’ remains.

Pomper","doi":"10.1080/00794236.2022.2120722","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00794236.2022.2120722","url":null,"abstract":"Encounters between Europeans and Americans opened a connection with the countries in Asia. Large amounts of silver from South America and Mexico were shipped to China to be exchanged for the porcelain, silk, and lacquer that were desired in Europe. The porcelain sherds found in the city of Panama confirm how global the trade was. This settlement was founded in 1519 on the Pacific side of the isthmus and played an important role in a complex trade route that facilitated the export of silver from the New World to the Old along with an influx of these goods from the Pacific maritime traffic. After an amalgamation process using mercury facilitating the extraction of silver was developed in the 1550’s, it was used at Potosi in present-day Bolivia. Beginning in 1572, New World silver production began to increase dramatically. Chinese mercury was imported into Latin America; demonstrating “clandestine shipping directly from Asia to Peru,” showing that “there was a high level of international connectedness.” Spanish trade in the Pacific began in the sixteenth century, when Ferdinand Magellan claimed the Philippine Islands for the Spanish Empire. The Philippines had a been a market for Chinese ceramics since the Tang dynasty (618-906) but after Spain established the trading post of Manila in the mid1500’s, Spanish traders quickly saw the opportunity to send Chinese porcelain to the Spanish colonies in the Americas. The first Spanish galleon crossed the Pacific from Manila to Acapulco, Mexico, in 1565, but large shipments of porcelain did not begin to arrive until 1573. Colonists from all over Latin America went to Acapulco to buy Asian goods. Porcelain was far superior to tin-glazed earthenware, such as maiolica, because it was hard, and the glaze and the body were fused together so that it would not crack or chip. Even the maiolica of the best quality might look attractive but could not endure frequent use or washing. The glaze and body could separate, leading to crazing or cracking. The advantages of porcelain were obvious, but Europeans could not make true porcelain until the Meissen factory at Dresden was started in the early 18 century. I have been studying the sherds found in Panama from the time I was first contacted by Beatriz Rovira, who was the chief archaeologist there and I have written several articles about the sherds. I also met with Dr. Felipe Gait an Ammann, who wrote a wonderful doctoral dissertation about the Genoese slave traders in Panama, which was then the “hub of the world.” The traders, Ambrosio Lomelin and Domingo Grillo, were given the contract in 1663 by Philip IV (r. 1621-65) of Spain to become the “first exclusive slave-trading concessionaire to operate directly from the Spanish Indies” and to negotiate directly with the English and the Dutch. Panama was one of the main commercial hubs in the Spanish Empire. Silver bullion was plentiful at Potosi, then in Peru, in present-day Bolivia. Panama was “a port of transit for all of ","PeriodicalId":43560,"journal":{"name":"Post-Medieval Archaeology","volume":"56 1","pages":"261 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48865231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
