ANTH 2556 - ZOOARCHAEOLOGY

Minimum Credits: 4
Maximum Credits: 4
Animal remains are often some of the most frequently encountered material remains recovered from archaeological sites and therefore provide crucial information relating to subsistence strategies, animal husbandry patterns, paleoenvironments and a wide range of other human behaviors. This course provides an introduction to the main elements of Zooarchaeology research and will focus on the recovery, identification and contextual analysis of animal remains. The course will provide both laboratory training as well as seminar discussions in order to evaluate the significance of Zooarchaeology within archaeological research. Participants will therefore have the opportunity to gain practical laboratory skills in identification and analysis and to learn how this information can be applied to the study of complex societies in both the Old and New World.
