Birds is the first book to examine bird remains in archaeology and
anthropology. Providing a thorough review of the literature on this
topic, it also serves as a guide to the methods of study of bird
remains from the past and covers a wide range of topics, including
anatomy and osteology, taphonomy, eggs, feathers, and, bone tools.
It examines the myriad ways in which people have interacted with
birds in the past. The volume also includes discussion on the
consumption of wild birds, the domestication of birds, cockfighting
and falconry, birds in ritual and religion, and the role of birds
in ecological reconstruction, providing an up-to-date survey of
current knowledge on these topics. Birds will be an invaluable
resource for undergraduate and graduate students interested in
zooarchaeology and human-animal relations, as well as professional
zooarchaeologists, archaeologists, and anthropologists interested
in birds and people of the past.
