New Methods in Zooarchaeology

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)

Conventional zooarchaeological methods are critical and serve as a fundamental baseline towards generating robust data, yet these frameworks may not always be applicable to various datasets. Furthermore, zooarchaeologists are continuously developing new techniques and procedures to further enhance our understanding of faunal assemblages through time and across space. This session serves to present recent and new approaches and methodologies. The session ultimately aims to synthesize dynamic discussions among the zooarchaeology community.
