Abstract:

This PhD thesis (totaling approximately 55,000 words) argues for the value of biometric studies of domesticates as a means by which to examine controversial questions in archaeological research. Taking the Greek colonisation of southern Italy and the Adriatic coast of Croatia as case studies faunal material was examined from Greece and both of these areas to determine what data domesticates could provide as to the scale and process of Greek colonisation in these regions. Distinct varieties of sheep and cattle were identified from Greece through bone measurements. These Greek livestock could th

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the changing meat supply and butchery practices at medieval castles in England. The analysis represents a departure from prevailing zooarchaeological butchery studies in that it considers the importance of analysing butchery patterns to gain a better understanding of social status, diet and changes in how animals were exploited over time and in various geographic locations in England. This research highlights the potential of butchery studies and reveals previously unestablished information about how butchery was carried out, how meat was supplied and the practical and

This analysis of faunal remains from Goodman Point Pueblo (5MT604), a large village occupied just before the ancestral Puebloans permanently left southwestern Colorado at the end of the thirteenth century, explores the effect of dietary stress during abandonment in the Four Corners region.

By specifically looking at faunal remains, or remains from food resources, environmental change and dietary stress can be assessed. Identifications of taxa identified at Goodman Po

Abstract:

The transition from a hunting and gathering to a farming lifestyle is an important historical and archaeological topic. In the U.S. Southwest specifically, the Basketmaker II (BM II) time period (1500 B.C. to A.D. 500) marks the entrance of maize-based agriculture into the region. Most attention regarding the BM II diet has thus focused on the use of domesticated plant resources, while the economic importance of wild animals has been less systematically studied. This project seeks to redress this imbalance by synthesizing the faunal data from 31 BM II sites to investigate how BM II communities

Abstract:

The dingo is a primitive dog endemic to Australia. Dingoes currently reside in the wild, but some previously lived with Australian Aboriginal people as tame companions. Many aspects of the dingo’s identity are controversial, in part because its natural and cultural history on the continent remain unclear. Of particular contention are the questions of where and when the dingo came from, whether its phenotype has changed over time, and whether it was ever domesticated. Here, I investigate these issues through a morphological study of modern, palaeontological and archaeological dingo remains, emp

As hunter-fisher-gatherers, the lives of Mesolithic humans in Britain would have revolved, to a great extent, around the daily encounters and interactions with animals that were necessary for the provision of nutrients for survival. Traditional narratives of human-animal relations have viewed animals through an economic lens, interpreting their significance in terms of the nutritional or material resources they provided Mesolithic humans. However, more recent studies argue human-animal relations in the past should instead be considered as developing through their daily interactions and engagem

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the animal bone distribution at the Geometric period settlement of Zagora (ca. 850-700 BC), on the island of Andros. The animal bones were excavated during the 1967-74 University of Sydney excavations and analysed in 1977 by a specialist who compiled a report of her findings. The report is currently in preparation for publication and is the primary source for this thesis. The data it provided was limited but enough could be extracted to identify patterns that permitted a tentative reconstruction of social life and the economy at Zagora. There is a paucity of excavate

Abstract:

Until relatively recently, shell middens have been overlooked as culturally rich sites that can inform archaeologists on many aspects of the past. In depth analyses of all features of a site are needed in order to gain an understanding of the people who created them. Analyses that examine both the ecological and economic aspects of sites through the use of quantitative data have been promoted via detailed research of coastal shell deposits in South Africa and California. Although the application of this type of approach has not been as widespread in southeast Australia, the foundational work o

Abstract:

The adoption of bone tool technology in the Early Upper Palaeolithic of Europe by Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans has been the focus of considerable debate. In particular this debate has focused on the origins of the technology and the possible implications for the extinction of Neanderthals. This dissertation examines the context of element selection for use as raw material to produce bone tools, related to prey species in the Châtelperronian of the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur Cure and the Aurignacian of Abri Ce

Abstract:

La present tesi doctoral té per objectiu l'estudi comportamental de les últimes poblacions neandertals que van ocupar les Valls d'Alcoi (Alacant, Espanya) durant el Paleolític mitjà. Per a això, s'ha pres com a base material el registre faunístic recuperat en el jaciment arqueològic del Salt, estudiant des d'una perspectiva econòmica centrada en la subsistència humana, a través de l'aplicació de mètodes zooarqueològics i tafonòmics. Paral·lelament, es porta a terme la seva comparativa amb la resta d'evidències conegudes a la regió i en el conjunt del vessant mediterrània de la península Ibèric

Abstract:

In recent years, causewayed enclosures have come to be regarded as being ceremonial or ritual sites. This classification is derived from a perceived lack of evidence pertaining to domestic settlement, in the form of houses and 'typical' domestic animal bone assemblages, and a perceived abundance of 'atypical' material and methods of deposition. This thesis explores the animal bone from the Etton causewayed enclosure in order to ascertain whether these perceptions have an empirical basis. Etton was excavated in the 1980s, and the published literature relating to the site appeared to conform to

Abstract:

The historically introduced House Rock Valley bison herd has, in recent years, migrated from the eastern Arizona Strip onto the Kaibab Plateau within Grand Canyon National Park. Bison are considered a nonnative species to the southern Colorado Plateau, and the animals adversely impact sensitive ecosystems prompting National Park Service wildlife managers to pursue their removal. Archaeofaunal evidence of bison in the Grand Canyon and neighboring regions, however, raises concern that bison may in fact be native. Assessing the evidence within a zooarchaeological interpretive framework is critica

Estudos tafonômicos são relevantes para o entendimento de contextos deposicionais em sítios paleontológicos e arqueológicos, podendo ser ferramenta útil na correta interpretação desses registros. Recorrente em estudos dessa natureza é o problema da equifinalidade, em que dois ou mais processos levam a um mesmo padrão final. No caso dos estudos zooarqueológicos esse problema se torna mais aparente, uma vez que dois fatores são responsáveis pela formação e configuração final da fauna depositada nos sítios arqueológicos, sendo eles a ação humana e a ação natural.
