Faunal remains
Faunal remains refer to the preserved bones, teeth, shells, or other parts of animals found at archaeological or natural sites. These remains provide important information about past environments, diets, domestication, hunting practices, and species diversity. By studying faunal remains, researchers can learn about how ancient people interacted with animals, what species lived in a particular area, and how ecosystems have changed over time. They are valuable for reconstructing historical life ways and understanding human-animal relationships throughout history.
