  • Overview

  • Contents

This volume collects 10 papers presented at the 13th ICAZ International conference comprising of research from wide-ranging geographical and chronological contexts. A variety of topics are discussed including Neanderthal behavioural patterns, animal economy and exploitation, and biodiversity and extinction or expansion of a range of species. There are also chapters presenting osteometric information on particular species (dogs and otariids). The papers presented employ an array of methods, integrating textual, historical and iconographic data to tackle complex archaeological questions, thus showcasing the capacious nature of zooarchaeological studies. The volume is illustrated with photographs that demonstrate human modifications on bones and pathologies, as well as examples of species separation. The volume also contains a good body of osteometric data, making it a useful resource for researchers and students working on these topics.
