Animal Bones to Human Behavior
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 86th Annual Meeting, Online (2021)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Animal Bones to Human Behavior" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The goal of the session is to reinforce the value of zooarchaeology to problems and questions in archaeology. Faunal remains from archaeological sites are the result of, and largely reflect, human behavior. As such, the papers in this session will use faunal data from various geographic regions and time periods to explore, understand, and explain human behavior, activity, and decision making. The papers will provide links between faunal data, human activity, and accumulated deposits to explore the range of human adaptation.
