Haitians need a transitional government they trust to prepare the nation for free, fair, inclusive, and legitimate national and municipal elections.ģ. USAID must prioritize investment in Haitian-led civil society groups that respond to local community priorities. Any direct aid to the government should go to municipalities and encourage domestic resource mobilization to address local needs and deliver basic services. Our analysis shows that less than one percent of U.S. foreign aid to Haiti flows directly to Haiti-based civil society organizations. Your leadership in supporting legitimate, inclusive processes led by Haitian civil society and faith groups will send a clear message to the Haitian people that the U.S. Work to rebuild their democracy and economy. Please do the right thing in this moment of moral urgency.įr.

Now is the time for the United States to do a new thing in its policy toward Haiti. This paper brings together several types of available evidence of salted fish-industry, trade and consumption of salted fish products in the Greek and Graeco-Roman worlds, with the emphasis on zooarchaeological remains. A recent archaeoichthyological analysis of two fish assemblages from the Hellenistic-Roman town of Dion in Northern Greece serves as the backbone of this paper, to address questions of procurement, production and trade of salted fish in the Aegean. Literary and other lines of evidence are used, in order to highlight aspects of this important component of the Roman economy and diet in ancient and Roman Greece. Zooarchaeological evidence of processed fish in the AegeanĤAlthough archaeoichthyological studies from Aegean sites are increasing, the discovery of zooarchaeological remains associated with processed fish from all periods of antiquity is surprisingly low. 9 Zimmermann Munn 2003, p. 203, 207-209 suggests Gades as a possible origin.There is no precise information on the exact provenance of these bo (.) n. 134, Athe (.)ĥ The earliest faunal material hitherto found in Greece comes from 5th c. Among the transport jars found in the Punic Amphora Building there is a large quantity of Mañá-Pascual A4 amphorae, suggestive of a considerable level of trade and consumption of their contents in Corinth. These amphorae come from Punic centres, known in antiquity for their trade in salted and pickled fish, suggesting that they contained fish, whose remains were found scattered in the building 6. Two different types of amphorae seem to indicate two different contents. The archaeometric analysis by Maniatis et al. concluded that «wherever the amphoras were made, the nature of the two technologies is indicative that one ware was probably good enough for carrying fish in oil or brine, its quality being very consistent, while the second ware was very porous, suitable for dry contents» 7. The fish remains consisted of packs of scales, while vertebrae and cranial bones were scarce 8. Fish bones were primarily attributed to the gilthead sea bream, as well as tunny. According to the specialists who examined the remains, the products found in the amphorae consisted of fillets cut into 4-6 cm lengths so as to fit through the narrow mouth of the Punic amphorae. On the basis of these finds, excavators came to the conclusion that fish salting and trading centers of Southern Spain were known to the Greeks as early as the 5th century BC and that a thriving trade took place between this area and Corinth at that time 9.
