Was pike on the menu? Exploring the role of freshwater fish in medieval England - Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences Historical sources report that some species of freshwater fish were considered luxury food items in England during the Middle Ages. The high retail price associated with species such as pike, salmon and sturgeon, as well as restrictions of fishing rights on rivers, estuaries and natural and artificial ponds, proves their exclusivity and role as symbols of social privilege. In this work, the zooarchaeological evidence from 11 English sites dated between the 11th and the 15th c. AD is discussed. This paper explores the differences between the ranges of freshwater species recovered from different site types, by looking at specific features that could define these fishes as luxury items: in particular, species selection and fish size are investigated as potentially meaningful variables. The size of fish will be used as an indicator of status and interpreted in view of the increasing phenomenon of fishing from artificial fishponds.

💚As an individual we hold so much power.
As a collective we are even stronger.

Think about who benefits from keeping us isolated and silent.

In times of atrocity, destruction and genocide, the courage to act to disrupt, to resist, to disobey is a right and moral responsibility to many.
