	Proceedings of the 9th ICAZ Conference Archaeomalacology: Molluscs in former environments of human behaviour edited by D Bar-Yosef Molluscs are the most common invertebrate remains found at archaeological sites, but archaeomalacology (the study of molluscs in archaeological contexts) is a relatively new archaeological discipline and the field of zooarchaeology is seen by many as one mainly focused on the remains of vertebrates.

This variety of use means that fats have been a valuable trading commodity for thousands of years. The ... Hardback. Price GB £50.00
	Proceedings of the 9th ICAZ Conference Biosphere to Lithosphere: new studies in vertebrate taphonomy by T O'Connor Taphonomic studies are a major methodological advance, the effects of which have been felt throughout archaeology. Zooarchaeologists and archaeobotanists were the first to realise how vital it was to study the entire process of how food enters the archaeological record, and taphonomy brought to a close the era when the study of animal bones and plant remains from archaeological sites were regarded mainly as environmental indicators.This volume is ...
