Human Interactions with Extinct Fauna

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Human Interactions with Extinct Fauna," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Worldwide humans have interacted with now-extinct species in a variety of ways. These interactions span from the earliest periods of our species to recent documentation of human effects on threatened and endangered species. This symposium brings together research from across the world, and a broad range of time periods, to explore human interaction with extinct species utilizing a variety of methodologies, including ancient DNA, stable isotopes, historical ecology perspectives, and comprehensive reviews.
