ABOUT ZOOARCHAEOLOGY
Zooarchaeology is the study of animal remains (primarily bones, teeth, and shells) from archaeological contexts. The goal of most zooarchaeological studies is to determine how animals fit into human economic and ecological strategies. Zooarchaeological research is therefore applicable in virtually all archaeological contexts (as long as animal remains are preserved) and is an integral component of archaeological analysis.
