- Research for this 240-page book used an interdisciplinary approach, grounded in zooarchaeology, but incorporating evidence from texts, iconography, social anthropology and cultural geography, to examine high-profile topics in European archaeology. Examining key issues, including cultural responses to wild animals, domestication and its implications for human daily practice, the value of incorporating animals into landscape research, the implications of the biogeographical transportation of species, and the importance of the study of foodways for understanding past societies, it explored how zooarchaeology can help to understand issues of human identity and ideology in the past, and what legacy this has in contemporary issues.
