Animals in complex human societies are often both meal and symbol,
related to everyday practice and ritual. People in such societies
may be characterized as having unequal access to such resources, or
else the meaning of animals may differ for component groups. Here,
in this book, 28 peer-reviewed papers that span 4 continents and
the Caribbean islands explore in different ways how animals were
incorporated into the diets and religions of many unique societies.
The temporal range is from the Neolithic to the Spanish
colonization of the New World as well as to modern tourist trade in
indigenous animal art. The volume explores various themes including
the interaction of foodways with complex societies, the interaction
between diet and colonialism and the complex role that animals, and
parts of animals, play in all human societies as religious,
identity markers, or other types of symbols. Organized according to
these themes, rather than geographic location or time period, the
papers presented here crosscut such divisions. In so doing, this
book presents an opportunity for scholars divided by geography
especially, but also by temporal period, to explore each other's
research and demonstrate that different archaeological settings can
address the same problems cross-culturally.
