文摘

Late Woodland Ontario peoples managed wild turkeys by provisioning them with maize. Maize provisioning of wild turkeys is unique in North American archaeology. Human/turkey interactions differed between Western Basin and Iroquoian traditions. Isotopic evidence supports ethnohistoric accounts of cold weather hunting. Reasons may include reliable food supply, climate change, ritual/ceremonial activity.
