A Synthesis of Dutch Faunal Remains Recovered from Seventeenth-Century Sites in the Albany Region

Archaeological excavations at Fort Orange, Beverwyck, and outlying farms have yielded faunal deposits from a variety of contexts: residential, business, military, and agricultural. The assemblages examined revealed that colonists consumed not only meats from domesticated livestock but also a great variety of wildlife species, such as wild turkey and deer. Venison deer remained an important meat throughout the seventeenth century, and that it was probably an important trade commodity, as it was hunted and bought from Natives. These data form the basis for investigating subsistence and trade practices, as well as social interactions between the Dutch and Native Americans.
