Spanish Use of Plants and Animals in Early Colonial New Mexico
Abstract
During the seventeenth century, Spanish colonists began settling in New Mexico. As an agrarian society, the successful establishment of the colony rested on the colonists’ ability to create relationships with plants and animals in the colony’s novel environmental conditions. Using zooarchaeological and paleoethnobotanical evidence from the capital of Santa Fe and several seventeenth-century ranches, this paper explores the connections colonists had with plants and animals in this new region. The faunal remains among the sites are remarkably consistent: a mix of domesticated mammals, birds, and fish, with few endemic mammals. Plant foods included local and introduced crops and gathered plants, generally available around the ranches. For building materials and fuel, colonists engaged common land farther afield. The data indicate that a broad spectrum of activities were centered on the farm, but common areas provided critical resources.

“Zooarchaeological data from 17 th -century Spanish ranches in the Cochiti and Galisteo regions of New Mexico also demonstrate a profound preference for domestic meat and the ability to produce it, with more than 85% -95% of fauna by NISP and 94% -99% of the biomass coming from domestic animals (cattle, horse, sheep, goat, pigs, and chickens) at most sites (Snow, 1973a, 1973b; Trigg et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
