Archaeoprimatology intertwines archaeology and primatology to
understand the ancient liminal relationships between humans and
nonhuman primates. During the last decade, novel studies have
boosted this discipline. This edited volume is the first compendium
of archaeoprimatological studies ever produced. Written by a
culturally diverse group of scholars, with multiple theoretical
views and methodological perspectives, it includes new
zooarchaeological examinations and material culture evaluations, as
well as innovative uses of oral and written sources. Themes
discussed comprise the survey of past primates as pets, symbolic
mediators, prey, iconographic references, or living commodities.
The book covers different regions of the world, from the Americas
to Asia, along with studies from Africa and Europe. Temporally, the
chapters explore the human-nonhuman primate interface from deep in
time to more recent historical times, examining both extinct and
extant primate taxa. This anthology of archaeoprimatological
studies will be of interest to archaeologists, primatologists,
anthropologists, art historians, paleontologists, conservationists,
zoologists, historical ecologists, philologists, and
ethnobiologists.
