Descrição: Analysis of zooarchaeological data from sites related to 19thcentury Chinese railroad workers in the United States illustrates the variety of food choices made by these individuals and the effects of “localization” on their food practices. Due to the mobility inherent in the lives of railroad workers, data from railroad line camps and urban and rural Chinatown communities provide a fuller picture of the suite of contexts in which railroad workers made food choices. The resulting data demonstrate that, as Chinese railroad workers moved from context to context, they were able to act upon their culinary beliefs in different ways; they typically enjoyed a wide array of food options and possibilities in larger urban Chinatown communities while creatively managing local conditions to maintain some semblance of Chinese foodways, even in rural environments.
