This book presents the state-of-the art in the analysis of animal
movements in the past and its implications for human societies. It
also addresses the importance of animal activity and mobility for
understanding past human societies and past human-animal
relationships through cases studies from different periods and
areas. It is the first book to focus on the archaeology of animal
movement on different scales - from fine-tuned muscle movements of
working animals to feeding behavior and to long-distance movements
across landscapes and regions.With the recent development of
fine-tuned methodologies such as stable isotope analysis and
physical activity assessment, the potential to understand how
animals moved about in the past has increased substantially. While
the chapters in the volume utilize a wide range of archaeological
methods, they are all united by an emphasis on understanding animal
activity and mobility patterns as something that has a major impact
on human societies and human-animal relationships. Chapters in this
volume show that animal activity patterns provide information on
multiple aspects of human-animal relationships, including analysis
of animal management practices, transhumance, global and regional
trade networks, and animal domestication. This volume is of
interest to scholars working in zooarchaeology and early human
societies.
