Zooarchaeology is the study of animal remains in archaeological contexts
Animals can tell us many things about the past – what people hunted or domesticated; the environment of the time, what people ate, and people’s relationship with animals. Archaeological remains can come in the form of bones or shell, or tools and structures used in these interactions with animals.

Zooarchaeology News Archive
The news reports indexed below usually link to external sites that were active at the time of posting; sometimes websites may be temporarily down or may have reorganised their underlying architecture or have even closed down – in these cases the links may not be available. Most of the news articles archived are in English, although when I am made aware of stories in this and other languages I try to index them.
