Until recently, archaeological analysis of faunal evidence has primarily focused on the role of animals in the human diet and subsistence economy. This book, however, argues that animals have always played many more roles in human societies: as wealth, companions, spirit helpers, sacrificial victims, totems, centerpieces of feasts, objects of taboos, and more. These social factors are as significant as taphonomic processes in shaping animal bone assemblages. Nerissa Russell uses evidence derived from not only zooarchaeology, but also ethnography, history and classical studies, to suggest the range of human-animal relationships and to examine their importance in human society. Through exploring the significance of animals to ancient humans, this book provides a richer picture of past societies.Animal remains (Archaeology)Human remains (Archaeology)Social archaeologyHuman-animal relationshipsHistoryPrehistoric peoplesRites and ceremonies, PrehistoricAnimals and civilizationAnimal remains (Archaeology)Human remains (Archaeology)Social archaeology.Human-animal relationshipsHistory.Prehistoric peoples.Rites and ceremonies, Prehistoric.Animals and civilization.930.1Russell Nerissa1957-479064UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457219003321Social zooarchaeology261326UNINA
