214 was a bad year for Scalytomes... In order to gain trade advantages, the mayor/trader sold off a large quantity of booze in a previous caravan...
Unfortunately the plump helmet farm was not producing enough to keep up with demand- something easily rectified over a season... but without the proper booze stores to hold out while new farms were built and farmers trained, Scalytomes went dry. The surface water sources were dry from the winter, and the little booze available was consumed.
Famine set in. Over 40 dwarves starved to death.
All but one of the original 7 died. Much of the military died in goblin ambushes to top it off, too...
( 214 Late Spring → onwards )
Trade negotiations take place here. Conveniently located near the Great Hall. - Goron

Neat fort! You need to redirect your trade depot point of interest though.

Thanks for the heads up- I forgot to set the 'end date' for the poi.
