Abstract
Identity, gender, religion and economy: new isotope and radiocarbon evidence for marine re...
James H Barrett
Michael P Richards
249 - 271
Stable isotope measurements and radiocarbon dates on fifty-four burials from northern Scotland document trends in marine protein consumption from the Late Iron Age to the end of the Middle Ages. They illuminate how local environmental and cultural contingencies interrelated with a pan-European trend towards more intensive fishing around the end of the first millennium AD. Little use was made of marine foods in Late Iron Age Orkney despite its maritime setting. Significant fish consumption appeared in the Viking Age (ninth to eleventh centuries AD), first in the case of some men buried with grave-goods of Scandinavian style but soon among both sexes in `Christian' burials. There was then a peak in marine protein consumption from approximately the eleventh to the fourteenth centuries AD, particularly among men, after which the importance of fish-eating returned to Viking Age levels. The causes of these developments probably entailed a complex relationship between ethnicity, gender, Christian fasting practices, population growth, long-range fish trade and environmental change. Includes French and German summaries.
Deep-sea fishing in the European Mesolithic: fact or fantasy?
Catriona Pickard
Clive Bonsall
273 - 290
Some previous authors have argued for the practice of offshore, deep-water fishing in the European Mesolithic. In this article, various lines of evidence are brought to bear on this question: the kinds of fishing gear employed, the evidence relating to the use of boats and navigation, site location, ethnographic data, and fish biology and behaviour. It is concluded that the existence of deep-sea fisheries cannot be demonstrated on the basis of the available data. However, around much of Europe Mesolithic shorelines now lie below sea level and the study highlights the need for underwater archaeological investigation of submerged landscapes. Includes French and German summaries.

Aleks Pluskowski
291 - 313
The article offers a new perspective on the impact of exotic animals on the imaginations of medieval Europeans, and on the reception and utility of exotica in the form of the physical remains of non-indigenous species, by focusing on the zoological identity of non-indigenous animal body parts as `material culture'. Includes French and German summaries.
