This paper represents an attempt to work out the daily food intake of Indians in southeastern New England in the period 1605-1675. The information for the 17th. century comes from the standard sources—Williams, Morton, Winslow, etc. The attempt at quantification in the absence of much quantitative data of any kind to work from is interesting. Whether or not it is valid may be open to question—probably the guess of an expert is better than anyone else’s. 11.
