Zooarchaeology, Second Edition

This book serves as an introductory text for students interested in the identiﬁcation and the

analysis of animal remains from archaeological sites. The emphasis is on animals whose remains

inform us about the relationship between humans and their natural and social environments,

especially site-formation processes, subsistence strategies, the processes of domestication, and

paleoenvironments. Examining studies from all over the world, from the Pleistocene period up

to the present, this volume is organized in a way that is parallel to a faunal study, beginning

with background information, bias in a faunal assemblage, and basic zooarchaeological

methods. A zooarchaeological Hypothetical Collection illustrates the fundamental methods for

the collection of primary and secondary data that are applicable to zooarchaeology practice.

This revised edition reﬂects developments in zooarchaeology that have occurred during the

past decade. It includes new sections on enamel ultrastructure and incremental analysis, stable

isotopes and trace elements, ancient genetics and enzymes, environmental reconstruction,

people as agents of environmental change, applications of zooarchaeology in animal

conversation and heritage management, and a discussion of issues pertaining to the curation of

zooarchaeological materials.

ELIZABETH J. REITZ is Professor of Anthropology at the Georgia Museum of Natural History,
