The Zooarchaeology of Pleistocene Africa
2023Zooarchaeology is the study of animal bones from archaeological sites. Africa has the longest archaeological record in the world, potentially extending into the Pliocene and spanning the entire Pleistocene epoch. However, in comparison to other regions of Eurasia, this extended chronology in Africa has not translated to larger numbers of identified ...

This chapter discusses zooarchaeological exploration that might be less familiar (but no less important) within the discipline's broader contribution to classical archaeology. Scientific investigations and analyses of zooarchaeological materials from classical archaeological sites have grown rapidly since the 1980s.

A Perspective on Zooarchaeology
2018This chapter discusses how inherently consistent properties of organic materials enable zooarchaeological research. These stem from uniformities through time in the development and construction of bone, teeth, shell, and other organic materials in living animals, as they react to the species-specific demands of life. Traits of hard tissues such as bone

Though vertebrate evidence played a pivotal role in establishing human antiquity and prompted the emergence of prehistoric archaeology in the 1860s, for a century thereafter, animal specimens from archaeological excavations were given
