Archaelogical Analysis

A descriptive analysis of animal bones from a Historic Archaeological site in Louisville, Kentucky.

Beecher Faunal Site

This analysis was conducted on an archaeological faunal assemblage recovered from a historic site in Louisville, Kentucky. Reflecting the cultural diversity of its inhabitants, including African-American, Western European American, and Eastern European Immigrants, the assemblage offers insights into past meat consumption practices. Composed predominantly of waste food remains, with a substantial number of mammal, bird, and fish specimens, the assemblage provides a rich source for historical interpretation.

Python and Tableau Expressions

The first task was to use python to create the appropriate grouping classes for the different populations. The groups are

  • African Professionals
  • African Working Class
  • European Professionals
  • Immigrant Working Class
  • Then, getting appropriate proportions in a dynamic way required Fixed Level-Of-Detail (LOD) Expressions in Tableau's convenient table calculations.

    Tableau Dashboard

    Below is the two page dashboard, showing the required analysis. Food Utility Index (FUI) scores are High, Medium, Low (H/M/L) and indicate value of the animal and bone portion. Cut Portions are shown in the second dashboard, and provide higher grain detail into the differences found in each site.
