This is not a study that is old fashioned or out of date; in fact, it reminds us that there is more to science than analysing samples and results, including a broader understanding of the relationship between people and animals. In this sense, the book is an important contribution in a context where knowledge must continually be justified; there are several different pathways to scientific knowledge and many alternative interpretations of the past. --Nils Anfinset, Antiquity, February 2020 This book is an enjoyable read and highly recommended to anyone interested in human-animal relations. --Natasha Fijn, Norwegian Archaeological Review, 2019
