Animal bones in Australian archaeology is an introductory bone identification manual written for archaeologists working in Australia. This field guide includes 16 species commonly encountered in both Indigenous and historical sites. Using diagrams and flow charts, it walks the reader step-by-step through the bone identification process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first section of the book describes how zoo-archaeologists go about studying faunal remains from archaeological sites, and to explore the nature of these remains, and some of the information they provide. The second part discusses the relationship between humans and animals from earliest Africa to post-Medieval Britain. The latter can, of course, not be a complete survey; instead it sets out to describe some of the types of relationship that have existed throughout history, and the material consequences of those behaviours in the archaeological record.

Download or read book Behaviour Behind Bones written by Sharyn Jones O'Day and published by . This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in a series of volumes which form the published proceedings of the 9th meeting of the International Council of Archaeozoology (ICAZ), held in Durham in 2002. The 35 papers present a series of case studies from around the world. They stretch beyond the standard zooarchaeological topics of economy and ecology, and consider how zooarchaeological research can contribute to our understanding of human behaviour and social systems. The volume is divided into two parts. Part 1, Beyond Calories, focuses on the zooarchaeology of ritual and religion. Contributors discuss ways to approach questions of ritual and religion through the faunal record, and consider how material culture depicting and/or associated with animals can provides clues about ideology, religious practices and the role of animals within spiritual systems. Part 2, Equations for Inequality, looks at questions of identity, status and other forms of social differentiation in former human societies. Contributors discuss how differences in food consumption, nutrition, and food procurement strategies can be related to various forms of social differentiation among individuals and groups.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes and discusses the study of animal bones from urban excavations, based on experience gained during the study of material from York. Practical and analytical procedures are set out in detail, with discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of different methods of data analysis and presentation. Quantification, age at death estimation, and biometrical analysis are each discussed in some detail. The report reviews the description and diagnosis of pathological specimens, arguing for a more systematic approach to this important topic.. Also reviewed is the logistical problems and research opportunities presented by sites that yield very large assemblages of bones and the potential of sites that yield only very small assemblages. Lastly, there is discussion of research directions that urban zooarchaeology might take in the medium term.

Download or read book The Bone Readers written by Claudio Tuniz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bone Readers are a dedicated group of scholars who study the earliest human remains, their chemistry and DNA, their extinct floral and faunal contemporaries, and the geologic layers in which they were found. Their research leads them to theories about modern human origins that continually challenge conventional wisdom and cherished beliefs— about “Eve ,” Neanderthals, “hobbits,” and the Bering Straits, among others. Two leading Bone Readers and a science writer have penned a literate, authoritative summary of the current questions and the minefield of academic politics that surround it. Ideal for students in human origins or biological anthropology courses, and a delightful read.
