Vol. 8 Sup: Animal Use and Culture Change
Pam
J. Crabtree and Kathleen Ryan
What
can one learn from the study of faunal remains, other than information
about paleoeconomy and subsistence technology? The papers in
this volume are designed to begin to answer that question. The
case studies presented are more than simply analyses of past
subsistence systems; they provide examples, drawn from various
parts of the world, of the ways in which zooarchaeological data
can be used to study trade, social status, and ethnicity in
complex societies and of the ways in which faunal remains can
contribute to our understanding of the processes of cultural
change. |
