World Zooarchaeology

The World Zooarchaeology series publishes studies concerning all aspects of the past relationships between people and animals. It focuses on research based mainly on the analysis of the remains (e.g., bones, teeth, shells) of animals from archaeological sites. Integration with evidence from sister disciplines, such as history, anthropology, art history, geography and palaeontology, are welcome. The series aims to be temporally and geographically broad. It includes studies that cover all phases of human history, from our hunter-gatherer past to contemporary times. It also aims to gather contributions from all areas of the globe. We are especially keen to receive submissions by authors from the majority world and geographic areas less traditionally covered by archaeological literature. We welcome monographs (single-authored and co-authored) and edited volumes, written by early career scholars, senior scholars and independent researchers. Themes that are likely to be dealt with include hunting strategies, domestication, food resources, husbandry, herding, mobility, cultural relationships, trade, social status, feasting, ritual, religion, symbolism and many others.
