Zooarchaeology, or the study of ancient animal remains, is a vital
but frequently side-lined subject in archaeology. Many disciplines,
including anthropology, sociology, and geography, recognise
human-animal interactions as a key source of information for
understanding cultural ideology. Archaeological records are also
composed largely of debris from human-animal relationships, be they
in the form of animal bones, individual artefacts or entire
landscapes. By integrating knowledge from archaeological remains
with evidence from texts, iconography, social anthropology and
cultural geography, Beastly Questions: Animal Answers to
Archaeological Issues provides an intellectual tool-kit to enable
archaeological students, researchers and those working in the
commercial sector to offer more engaging interpretations of the
evidence at their disposal. Going beyond the simple confines of
'what people ate', this accessible but in-depth study covers a
variety of high-profile topics in European archaeology and provides
novel insights into mainstream archaeological questions.This
includes cultural responses to wild animals, the domestication of
animals and its implications on human daily practice, experience
and ideology, the transportation of species and the value of
incorporating animals into landscape research, the importance of
the study of foodways for understanding past societies and how
animal studies can help us to comprehend issues of human identity
and ideology: past, present and future.
