Zooarchaeological analysis

Zooarchaeological analysis involves examining animal bones and remains found at archaeological sites to understand how ancient people interacted with animals. This includes identifying species, estimating age and size, and determining how animals were used for food, tools, or rituals. By studying these remains, researchers learn about past diets, domestication, hunting practices, and environmental conditions. It provides valuable insights into human history, culture, and the relationship between people and animals over time. This scientific approach helps build a fuller picture of past societies and their ecosystems.
