Stability and Resilience in Zooarchaeology

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Stability and Resilience in Zooarchaeology" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

How communities generate stability and resilience against disturbance has received increasing archaeological attention in recent years. Zooarchaeologists are in a prime position to broadly study resilience and the maintenance of stability, given their focus on how human and nonhuman animal communities integrate with one another through time. Animals, and their byproducts, act as a rich proxy toward understanding economic systems and subsistence practices to reveal past adaptation, resiliency, and stability, including failed stability (collapse). The goal of this poster session is to showcase recent zooarchaeological perspectives and work on stability and resilience in different parts of the globe, at different times, and with different methodological approaches.
