Description and Table of Contents

Description

These essays highlight the differences between the archaeological focus on animals as the food source of their time and the belief among zooarchaeologists that animals represent a far more complex ecology. With broad methodological and interpretive analysis of sites throughout the region, the essays range in topic from the enduring symbolism of shells over more than 5,000 years to the domesticated dog cemeteries of Spirit Hill in Jackson County, Alabama.
