Zooarchaeology in Greece: Recent Advances

by E. Kotjabopoulou, Y. Hamilakis, P. Halstead, C. Gamble

Animals have always been integral to life and culture in Greece. Recently the study of animal bones has played an important role in investigations of Greek archaeology. In this volume the current position is reviewed with papers ranging from the Palaeolithic to the Medieval periods and employing a wide range of techniques and approaches. The papers cover not only the themes of subsistence and methodology but also symbolism, ritual and the artistic representation of animals. The interdisciplinary and international character of zooarchaeology is confirmed and many new avenues for research are suggested. 310p, 111 figs., (British School at Athens 2003)

Review Quote

As a whole the book is well organized and the introductory remarks before each section do much to make it useful to the non-specialist...Historians and archaeologists have waited a long time for a book like this. Here, zooarchaeologists have demonstrated that they have much to contribute to the historical (and prehistorical) discourses...It is hoped all disciplines which study the past will take this volume as a model for the continued integration of both humanistic and scientific approaches.
