Overview
Zooarchaeology is the study of animal remains from archaeological sites. It can provide us with valuable information about the past, such as what kind of animals were being used, how they were utilized, and their significance in the culture of ancient societies. Zooarchaeologists often use scientific methods to study animal remains, including the analysis of bones, teeth, and other materials, as well as tools associated with the animal remains. Zooarchaeological studies are essential for understanding human-animal relationships in the past, and can help us to better understand the environment and subsistence strategies of ancient peoples. Zooarchaeology can also help to inform conservation and management decisions for modern animal populations.
