Overview

The papers in this volume represent a selection of early career zooarchaeological research originally presented at the 7th and 10th meetings of the Postgraduate ZooArchaeology Forum, held in Palermo in 2018 and in Zagreb in 2023. The decision to combine the papers from both meetings into a single publication offers a geographically much wider display of the state of research in this scientific area, including research from Peru, South Africa, Armenia, Italy, Serbia, and Scotland. The majority of the authors in the volume produced these papers as extensions of their Master's and PhD theses, and therefore, the publication of their work provides valuable overview of the variety of research topics, scientific methods and new insights permeating the studies of human-animal interactions in the past, and in particular those of interest to early career researchers who provide an insight into the future of the field.

Reviews

'This volume also stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of a new generation of zooarchaeologists. Each paper offers a unique perspective, enriching our understanding of how these relationships are shaped by cultural, environmental, and temporal factors.' Dr Lenny Salvagno, University of Sheffield 'Collectively, the volume broadens the empirical foundation for global zooarchaeology by integrating datasets that are rarely synthesized in publications. Themes emerging across chapters-livestock management diversity, ritual deposition and feasting, specialized craft production (tanning, horn-working), marine resource exploitation, and the interpretive implications of recovery strategies-promise to stimulate new comparative research beyond traditional core regions.' Dr Roger Alcàntara Fors, Autonomous University of Barcelona
