Animals and Archaeology in Northern Medieval Russia: Zooarchaeological Studies in Novgorod and its Region

edited by Mark Maltby

This is the third book on material studies in this series on medieval Novgorod and its territory, and deals with a substantial body of animal bones that has been recovered over the last decade. The zooarchaeological evidence is discussed by the editor and a number of other British and Russian specialists looking at the remains of mammals, birds and fish. Topics discussed include diet, butchery practices, the exploitation of fur and skins, mortality patterns of mammals, and metrical analyses of a wide range of species. Detailed data sets are provided to enable the reader to make comparisons with their own research, but the book is also suitable for those with a more general interest in medieval Russian archaeology. c.300p, b/w illus and accompanying CD with supporting data (Oxbow Books 2012)
