This groundbreaking archaeological investigation delves into the realm of ancient cuisine, shedding valuable light on the culinary traditions of bygone eras. Ancient cuisine holds a prominent place in the current discourse of archaeology, with this book offering a unique perspective on the shifting settlement and subsistence patterns in the Northern Great Lakes region. Author Susan Kooiman conducts a thorough examination of precontact Indigenous pottery from the Cloudman site on Drummond Island, located at the far eastern end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Through her analysis, Kooiman explores the evolution of pottery technology, pottery use, diet, and cooking habits over time, while also examining how these changes align with hypothesized shifts in subsistence, settlement, and social patterns among Indigenous pottery-making groups in this area.
Kooiman's research demonstrates that ceramic technology and cooking techniques underwent significant transformations to meet the evolving needs of subsistence and processing. Her interpretations of past cuisine and culinary identities receive further support and enhancement through comparisons with ethnographic and ethnohistoric accounts of local Indigenous cooking and diet. The complementary nature of these diverse methods highlights a intricate interplay of technology, environment, and social relationships, underscoring the potential applications of such an analytic suite to long-standing questions in the Northern Great Lakes and other archaeological contexts worldwide.
This well-written book appeals to students and scholars of archaeology and anthropology, as well as armchair archaeologists seeking to expand their knowledge in Indigenous/Native American studies, food studies and cuisine, pottery, cooking, and food history.
