ANTHR 4264
Zooarchaeological Interpretation

Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog.

This course follows from last semester's Zooarchaeological Method.  We will shift our emphasis here from basic skills to interpretation, although you will continue to work with archaeological bones.  We will begin by examining topics surrounding the basic interpretation of raw faunal data: sampling, quantification, taphonomy, seasonality.  We will then explore how to use faunal data to reconstruct subsistence patterns, social structure, and human-animal relations.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ANTHR 4263/ARKEO 4263 or permission of instructor.
