Dietary Patterns at Two Colonial Sites in Southern Maryland

Abigail Kennedy

At the April 14 CCASM Zoom meeting Abigail Kennedy presented dietary data associated with faunal and vessel artifacts recovered from two sites in Calvert County in order to help provide an understanding of colonial dietary practices along the Patuxent River in the early Colonial period.  One site, the Roberts Site (18CV350), was an early 18th-century inland site on the Patuxent River, while the other site, Patuxent Point (18CV271), was a late 17th-century site located at the confluence of the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers. 

Abigail Kennedy is a senior at University of Maryland, Baltimore County.  After graduation she plans to pursue a Masters in bioarchaeology.

We would like to thank James Gibb for hosting the Zoom meeting.
