An experimental approach to cut-mark investigation has proved particularly successful and should arguably be a prerequisite for individuals interested in developing standard methods to study butchery data. This paper offers a brief review of the criteria used to investigate cut marks and subsequently outlines recent research that has integrated results from replication studies of archaeological...

The campaign against butchery by cutting the throat, while the animal is conscious, has been renewed recently with the gratifying effect that newer methods, more humane in nature, have been devised. The German Society for the Protection of Animals in 1927 and the International Congress for the Protection of Animals held at Vienna decided against the procedure of ' butchery without concussion Ma...

The application of foraging theory to understanding carcass exploitation is a relatively recent development. The methodology developed by archaeological and ethnoarchaeological research on butchery/transport studies has been integrated into a behavioral ecological framework to create models that can be used to understand archaeological carcass exploitation. In this paper, I use such a model to ...

foods with animal origins play a substantial role in the transmission of helicobacter pylori. the present investigation was carried out to study the vaca and caga genotypes status of h. pylori isolated from various types of meat samples. two hundred and twenty meat samples were collected and cultured. h. pylori-positive strains were analyzed for the presence of vaca and caga genotypes. eleven o...

Abstract This paper discusses the evidence relating to an assemblage of Pleistocene bones and teeth discovered in a brick pit at Great Yeldham, Essex, late nineteenth century. Surviving elements from this collection, which include bison foot bone with cut-marks, are now British Geological Survey Museum, Keyworth. A re-examination collection suggests that humans were present site during temperat...

1.1 Tao and the Art of Knife Maintenance Good chefs know the importance of maintaining sharp knives in the kitchen. What ’ s their secret? A well-worn Taoist allegory offers some advice. The king asks about his butcher ’ s impressive knife-work. “ Ordinary butchers, ” he replies “ hack their way through the animal. Thus their knife always needs sharpening. My father taught me the Taoist way. I ...

Preservation of the remains and the inclusion of small amounts of other species (particularly the human bones) suggests that the bones were redeposited and probably represent fellmongers refuse. The low incidence of butchery marks implies that the horse bones are unlikely to be the remains of animals slaughtered for human consumption, the few knife and chop marks probably being associated with ...
