Anthropologists and archaeologists explore different ways that animals were incorporated into the diets and religions of unique societies ranging from the Neolithic through the Spanish colonization of the New World, to the modern tourist trade in indigenous animal art. The keynote paper looks at how zooarchaeologists contribute to the study of complex society in the New and Old Worlds. Other topics include a bird's eye view of ritual at the Cahokia site, Scythian and Celtic animal exploitation in Iron Age northeastern Hungary, the adoption and use of domestic animals at Zuni, evidence from zooarchaological remains for the Romanizing of ancient Carthage, animal amulets and ornaments in power and magic, birds and animals in ancient Armenian art, and the composition and interpretation of associated bone groups from Wessex.
