An Introduction to Zooarchaeology. / Diane Gifford-Gonzalez. , Switzerland : Springer, Cham , 2018. XXIII, 604 pages : 24cm. 4294 This volume is a comprehensive, critical introduction to vertebrate zooarchaeology, the field that explores the history of human relations with animals from the Pliocene to the Industrial Revolution. The book is organized into five sections, each with an introduction, that leads the reader systematically through this swiftly expanding field. Section One presents a general introduction to zooarchaeology, key definitions, and an historical survey of the emergence of zooarchaeology in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and introduces the conceptual approach taken in the book. This volume is designed to allow readers to integrate data from the book along with that acquired elsewhere within a coherent analytical framework. Most of its chapters take the form of critical "review articles," providing a portal into both the classic and current literature and contextualizing these with original commentary. Summaries of findings are enhanced by profuse illustrations by the author and others Archaeology Social Science Archaeology Vertebrates Diane Gifford-Gonzalez Diane Gifford-Gonzalez BOOK 61385 61385 0 0 ddc 0 0 SNUL SNUL 2024-01-06 Brijwasi Books 4294.00 0 930.1 GIF 29944 2024-01-06 00:00:00 2024-01-06 BOOK
