Includes 100 figures and 200 tables. Recognition of the role of
animals in ancient diet, economy, politics, and ritual is vital to
understanding ancient cultures. Following the clues available from
animal remains in reconstructing environments is vital to
understanding the ancient relationship between humans and the world
around them. In response to the growing interest in the field of
zooarchaeology, this volume presents current research from across
the many cultures and regions of Mesoamerica, dealing specifically
with the most current issues in zooarchaeological literature.
Geographically, the essays collected here index the different
aspects of animal use by the indigenous populations of the entire
area between the northern borders of Mexico and the southern
borders of lower Central America. This includes such diverse
cultures as the north Mexican hunter-gatherers, the Olmec, Maya,
Mixtec, Zapotec, and Central American Indians. The time frame of
the volume extends from the earliest human occupation, the
Preclassic, Classic, Postclassic, and Colonial manifestations, to
recent times. The book's chapters, written by experts in the field
of Mesoamerican zooarchaeology, provide important general
background on the domestic and ritual use of animals in early and
classic Mesoamerica and Central America. English text.
Spanish-language version also available (ISBN 978-1-937040-12-3).
