  • This volume serves as an introduction to the principles and applications of analytical chemistry to archaeological materials. Accessible to students without a comprehensive background in chemistry, it will enable them to draw meaningful interpretations from analytical data in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of the beliefs of people in the distant past. The second edition has been thoroughly revised to include the cutting-edge developments in analytical chemistry that have occurred over the last two decades. It offers a detailed explanation of the principles behind the analytical techniques, allowing archaeologists to appreciate the strengths and limitations of data generated through analysis of archaeological objects. The volume also includes interdisciplinary perspectives, showing how the interaction between a range of disciplines enables a deeper understanding of human behaviour and beliefs in the past. Importantly, the book provides basic information on laboratory procedures and safety that fosters an understanding of the practicalities of laboratory science.

Zooarchaeology

  • This leading textbook introduces students and practitioners to the identification and analysis of animal remains at archaeology sites. The authors use global examples from the Pleistocene era into the present to explain how zooarchaeology allows us to form insights about relationships among people and their natural and social environments, especially site-formation processes, economic strategies, domestication, and paleoenvironments. This new edition reflects the significant technological developments in zooarchaeology that have occurred in the past two decades, notably ancient DNA, proteomics, and isotope geochemistry. Substantially revised to reflect these trends, the volume also highlights novel applications, current issues in the field, the growth of international zooarchaeology, and the increased role of interdisciplinary collaborations. In view of the growing importance of legacy collections, voucher specimens, and access to research materials, it also includes a substantially revised chapter that addresses management of zooarchaeological collections and curation of data.

  • Summary

    Responsible zooarchaeology encompasses: (1) care of reference collections, (2) management of zooarchaeological collections during study, (3) dissemination of results, and (4) long-term curation. Our responses to these challenges must be governed by shared values regarding the professional and ethical treatment of our natural and cultural heritage.

  • Summary

    Zooarchaeological research reveals that humans are simultaneously resilient in the face of environmental change, and culpable as drivers of environmental change. Recent research indicates that even habitats thought to be unmodified by human activities were substantially, and often intentionally, altered by humans in the past. Zooarchaeological approaches to studying past environmental conditions generally fall within two primary themes: (1) the interactions between humans, animals, and the environments in which they live, and (2) the consequences of those interactions for both humans and animals.
