| Popis: | We examine fishing, fish markets, and fish consumption in New Orleans, Louisiana, using zooarchaeological assemblages of fish remains from four sites located in the French Quarter. The contexts range in age from the early eighteenth to the late nineteenth centuries and varied in function and occupation including French and Spanish households, a hotel, a public garden, and the Ursuline Convent. We use evidence of probable fishing habitats, various marketing practices, and the culinary origins of preferred food fishes to elucidate how the coastal setting of the city and its cosmopolitan inhabitants used fishing and fish to foster local identity. |
