A number of particularities that characterize the Neotropics—the biogeographic region ranging from central and southern Mexico to southern South America and adjacent islands—are relevant to understanding the diversity and evolution of human-animal interactions through time, as well as the resulting archaeofaunal record. The mission of the ICAZ Neotropical Zooarchaeology Working Group (NZWG) is to offer a forum where people from any country can discuss these research problems. All interested researchers and students are invited to join.

The first Academic Meeting of the ICAZ Neotropical Zooarchaeology Working Group will be held in Santiago de Chile on June 1st, 2012. It will be a one-day workhsop on the issue: “Towards a zooarchaeology of the Neotropics”. A link to the poster can be found below. Please check the Circulars (see links below) or contact the Organisers for more information: Pablo M. Fernández (pfernand@retina.ar), Mariana Mondini (mmondini@filo.uba.ar), A. Sebastián Muñoz (amunoz@filo.uba.ar), or Isabel Cartajena (icartaje@uchile.cl).

A bibilographic database on Neotropical zooarchaeology is being generated and continually updated. It can be accessed here: http://alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/items/show/1773. Publications posted to BoneCommons are marked with the tag "Neotropical zooarchaeology publication." See a list of these publications.

A Newsletter is issued twice a year with these and other news. You can view the current and back issues by following the links at the top of this page.

Please contact any of the NZWG Coordinators for more information: Pablo M. Fernández (pfernand@retina.ar), Mariana Mondini (mmondini@filo.uba.ar), and A. Sebastián Muñoz (amunoz@filo.uba.ar).
