| What is Archaeozoology
What Topics Do Archaeozoologists Study?
Archaeozoologists ask a wide range of questions about human/animal
relationships in the past. Some of these questions focus on the
biological or environmental aspects of this relationship, others
on the social impact of human/animal interactions.
Common topics that archaeozoologists study include:
- Paleo-environments and environmental change
- Hunters and their prey
- Origins of animal domestication
- Development of animal breeds
- Animals in the economic, social, and belief systems of ancient
societies
- Formation of archaeological sites and associated archaeofaunal
assemblages
