In order to create a more holistic perspective on the
interrelationships between human and animal populations, this work
considers animals as integral and dynamic aspects of human social
life. Intersecting issues regarding the current state of knowledge
in South Indian (pre)history and zooarchaeological approaches are
examined using data excavated from the Iron Age site of Kadebakele
(Karnataka, India). Faunal remains from Kadebakele indicate that
quotidian consumption incorporated hunted, non-mammalian taxa,
while domestic stock was reared for secondary products. Cattle were
likely imbued with social value and ritually consumed in feasting
events associated with megalith construction. The social
distinctions associated with these tasks were therefore overlain
and differentially highlighted in Iron Age society - thus
human-animal interactions are a central component of human social
relations. This book will be of interest to scholar of South Asian
prehistory, history, archaeology, anthropology, zooarchaeology, and
animal husbandry.
