Archaeozoology

Archaeozoology is the study of animal remains from archaeological sites. It helps researchers understand past human societies by analyzing bones, teeth, and other remnants of animals that people hunted, domesticated, or otherwise interacted with. This field provides insights into ancient diets, hunting practices, animal domestication, and environmental conditions. By examining these remains, archaeozoologists can assess how humans and animals coexisted and adapted over time, contributing to a broader understanding of history, culture, and ecological changes.
