book The Story of Garum: Fermented Fish Sauce and Salted Fish in the Ancient World is a well-written, detailed, and insightful study on fermented fi sh sauce production and trade in the ancient classical world. Grainger combines her training as an historian and archaeologist along with her experience as a food historian and chef to provide a unique blend of expertise. She challenges some existing interpretations and assumptions about garum (e.g. that garum tasted rotten or bad) and suggests new ways to address the topic. Perhaps most importantly, The Story of Garum fi lls a gap in the literature on the topic.

ABSTRACT Jeffrey Parsons was a pioneer who expanded the scope of settlement pattern analysis in archaeology. He conducted extensive surveys in Mexico, Peru, and Argentina. Here I discuss Parsons' contributions to ethnographic research with archaeological goals (ethnoarchaeology). His major contributions to the field dealt with Mesoamerican subsistence activities in three broad areas: maguey (Agave sp.) cultivation in the Mexican Highlands; salt-making in aquatic environments (primarily the Basin of Mexico), and the aquatic lifeway (fishing, hunting, gathering, and manufacture). Parsons will be remembered as a scholar who pushed the boundaries of archaeological research, and in so doing greatly expanded our knowledge of Mesoamerican foodways, technology, and cultural adaptations to the environment.

ABSTRACT Archaeological studies of pottery production have given little attention to the productive uses of water, building historical discourses without taking into consideration its crucial role in many chaînes opératoires. Structures related to the use of water in pottery-making, such as wells, cisterns, or settling ponds, are very rarely discussed. This article aims to remedy that situation by contributing archaeological, ethnoarchaeological, and experimental evidence of the importance of water and structures related to the use of water in large-scale pottery production in workshops in ancient and traditional Iberia. We propose recognition of the importance of water use in pottery production to develop a greater understanding of how pottery workshops have operated in diverse geographical and chronological contexts.
陶器生产的考古研究很少关注水的生产利用，建立历史话语，而没有考虑到它在许多cha nes opsamatoires中的关键作用。与制陶用水有关的结构，如水井、蓄水池或沉淀池，很少被讨论。本文旨在通过提供考古、民族考古和实验证据来纠正这种情况，这些证据表明水的重要性以及与古代和传统伊比利亚车间大规模陶器生产中用水有关的结构。我们建议认识到用水在陶器生产中的重要性，以更好地了解陶器作坊在不同地理和时间背景下的运作方式。

ABSTRACT An ethnoarchaeological study was conducted in northwestern Ethiopia on the cultivation of dagusa (Amharic), commonly known as finger millet (Eleusine coracana) in English. Dagusa is one of the most important cereals and staple foods in East and Central Africa. The field study examined crop-processing activities from land preparation to food processing. The study documented traditional agricultural techniques, land races, labor organization, foods, and rituals associated with cultivation of the crop. Experimental charring was conducted to examine the transformation and preservation of different varieties of dagusa including cultivated and wild progenitor varieties within both oxidized and reduced combustion environments. The results show that survivability varies by seed color at temperatures between 250°C and 350°C. All components of the plants show better rates of survivability at these lower temperatures. The combined ethnoarchaeological and experimental study suggest where and how archaeobotanists may observe evidence of food production and processing of finger millet.

ABSTRACT The distinctive “saddle-shape” stone knives known as Tembeling knives of West Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia) have long been used to characterize the early agricultural activities of Neolithic populations in the region. While these tools are morphologically suggestive of a reaping function, their association with early plant use has never been established. The present study explores for the first time the function of Tembeling knives through a preliminary experimental study focusing on technological attributes and usewear profiles. The results indicate continuity in lithic technological processes between Neolithic populations and their foraging predecessors. The experimental work suggests an efficient reaping function for the tool. Additionally, usewear patterns on archaeological examples correspond most closely to the profiles found for siliceous plant-working tools replicated in the experiment.

ABSTRACT Drylands cover more than 40% of the earth’s land surface, are found on all continents, and are home to 30% of the world’s population. Due to water scarcity, they are generally considered unsuitable for lasting human settlement. While pastoralism has been reconceptualized recently as a rational, efficient, and sustainable way to live in drylands, agriculture without irrigation is generally considered unfeasible in hyper-arid and arid drylands. This article presents data collected in ethnographic interviews in dryland areas in three countries, Sudan, Pakistan, and Ethiopia, to document and understand the cultivation practices of pearl millet, finger millet, and sorghum in drylands. Contrary to general trends favoring adoption of more water-intensive crops, our results show that farming without irrigation represents a viable strategy even where rainfall is considered insufficient. We argue that it is important to recognize the sustainability and value of dryland agricultural systems, past, present, and future.

ABSTRACT In recent years, thousands of posthole features have been located during open-area excavations of Indigenous archaeological sites in the Caribbean Islands. However, the reconstruction of village spatial organization and its changes over time is sometimes a challenging task, because Indigenous village occupation can span more than 500 years. This article presents archaeological data from rescue excavations at Argyle, an Indigenous village site dating to the late pre-colonial and early colonial period on Saint Vincent Island in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Islands. The archaeological data are juxtaposed with an ethnographic reading of seventeenth-century European documentary sources of the Lesser Antilles and two ethnoarchaeological village studies conducted with Arawakan and Cariban-speaking peoples in the Tropical Lowlands of mainland South America. This study demonstrates the value of an integrated approach in understanding the Argyle site and conceptualizing the dynamics of Indigenous village settlements in the wider Circum-Caribbean area.
