got here, this seemingly insignificant find underscores the
irrevocable economic and ecological changes taking place not only here
but throughout seventeenth-century coastal New York. As the colonial settlements
grew, Dutch and English farms began expanding more and more into Munsee
territory.
The
colonists cut down forests for lumber, cleared fields, planted European crops,
and grazed European animals. These practices radically altered local ecosystems
and destroyed
the habitats of many of the animals that the Munsees had traditionally
hunted and the plants on which they had depended.
Compounding these changes was the tense political climate in the mid-seventeenth
century. Not only
did the wars take energies away from economic activities, but
Munsee and
Dutch also destroyed each others' crops as of part of conflicts. As a result,
the Munsees had to find new strategies to get food and to deal with their rapidly
changing natural world,
which they were now sharing with the colonists. This piece of
cow bone, then, is evidence of the dramatic changes in the economy and landscape
that were taking place throughout the world.
