    The role of stored fish in England 900-1750AD; the evidence from historical and archaeological data

    This thesis examines the historical and archaeological data for the consumption of herring and the gadid fishes (primarily cod, haddock, whiting, ling and hake) as stored fish cured by salting, drying and smoking. The thesis is divided into three parts, in the first part the historical evidence for developing fisheries, storage methods, marketing and consumption is discussed with an evaluation of the nutritional changes to the fish as a result of storage. In part two factors affecting fish bone preservation and recovery are presented and the authors own recording criteria. A new methodology is introduced using the documented data for portions and rations from monasteries and the forces, showing herring and the gadids by volume of fish eaten compared with the number of bones counted. Distribution of body parts as evidence for stored and fresh fish in the large gadids, hitherto only used to show processing is adapted for application to the data sample which largely represents consumption. In part three the 20 sites comprising the data sample are described. Portion and body part methods are applied to the herring and gadid bones from these assemblages. In the majority of sites herring predominate by number of bones, by portion cod becomes the primary fish in many cases. Evidence for stored codling and hake were found by body part distribution in many assemblages. The results of this study have shown that the archaeological data when expressed as a volume of fish supports the historical evidence for cod as the prime fish among these species, both as fresh and stored. Fish assemblages transcribed into portion from bone numbers present fish as a volume of food and often relegate herring, excessively favoured by bone numbers, into a subsidiary position

    September 11, 2008Shulamit Locker was born as Sonia Fiderer on March 7, 1927 in Vienna, Austria. She went to elementary school in Vienna and experienced the “Anschluss” and the so-called “Reichskristallnacht” in Austria. She emigrated shortly after the war broke out, precisely on Dec. 25, 1939, with a children’s transport organized by the Youth Aliyah via Italy to Palestine. She stayed with a family in Jerusalem until she went to a children’s village, where she finished high school and was prepared for the life in a Kibbutz. She then visited her father in New York for one year and went back to fight in the war of independence as a radar operator. She met her future husband in Israel and they went to London in 1953, where her husband studied. The couple eventually immigrated to the US and settled in New York City, where she embarked on a career as a Laboratory technician.Austrian Heritage Collectio

    On the relationship between vaccinia virus intracellular cores, early mRNAs and DNA replication sites.

    Virus assembly, a late event in the life cycle of vaccinia virus (VV), is preceded by a number of steps that all occur in the cytoplasm of the infected host cell: virion entry, delivery of the viral core into the cytoplasm, and transcription from these cores of early mRNAs, followed by the process of DNA replication. In the present study the quantitative and structural relationships between these distinct steps of VV morphogenesis were investigated. We show that viral RNA and DNA synthesis increases linearly with increasing amounts of incoming cores. Moreover, at multiplicities of infection that result in 10 to 40 cores per cell, an approximately 1:1 ratio between cores and sites of DNA replication exists, suggesting that each core is infectious. We have shown previously that W early mRNAs collect in distinct granular structures that recruit components of the host cell translation machinery. Strikingly, these structures appeared to form some distance away from intracellular cores (M. Mallardo, S. Schleich, and J. Krijnse Locker, Mol. Biol. Cell 12:3875-3891, 2001). In the present study the intracellular locations of the sites of early mRNA accumulation and those of the subsequent process of DNA replication were compared. We show that these are distinct structures that have different intracellular locations. Finally, we study the fate of the parental DNA after core uncoating. By electron microscopy, cores were found close to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the parental DNA, once it had left the core, appeared to associate preferentially with the cytosolic side of those membranes. Since we have previously shown that the process of DNA replication occurs in an ER-enclosed cytosolic "subcompartment" (N. Tolonen, L. Doglio, S. Schleich, and J. Krijnse Locker, Mol. Biol. Cell 12:2031-2046, 2001), the present data suggest that the parental DNA is released into the cytosol and associates with the same membranes where DNA replication is subsequently initiated. The combined data are discussed with respect to the cytosolic organization of VV morphogenesis
