Abstract

Archaeological investigations at Locus 1 of the Rumsey/Polk Tenant/Prehistoric site (7NCF112) in St. Georges Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, United States unearthed spatially distinct features and artifacts providing information about the lives of eighteenth- through mid-nineteenth-century enslaved and free Black occupants. Some assemblages are intermixed with those associated with white tenants. Associated faunal remains reveal complex dynamics of meat consumption between social classes and cultural groups. Geographic Information Systems technology aids in visualizing data to reveal contrasts in faunal usage across space between groups and nuances in chronology and variability of meat consumption at Locus 1.
