This book is one of a series of volumes resulting from the World
Archaeological Congress, September 1986 which addressed world
archaeology in its widest sense, investigating how people lived in
the past and how and why changes took place to result in the forms
of society and culture which exist now. The series brought together
archaeologists and anthropologists from many parts of the world,
academics from contingent disciplines, and also non-academics from
a wide range of cultural backgrounds who could lend their own
expertise to the discussions. This book is an exploration of the
way in which the animal world features in the works of art of a
variety of cultures of different times and places. Contributors
have adopted a variety of perspectives for looking at the complex
ways in which past and present humans have interrelated with beings
they classify as animals. Some of the approaches are predominantly
economic and ecological, some are symbolic and others philosophical
or theological. All these different views are included in the
interpretation of the artworks of the past, revealing some of the
foci and inspirations of cultural attitudes to animals. Originally
published 1989.
