The Symbolic Role of Animals in Archaeology

Series: Masca Research Papers in Science & Archaelogy

The papers in this volume represent a range of approaches to the study of the symbolic roles of animals in human cultures. The theme that unites these papers is their use of a variety of different kinds of evidence--including archaeological, faunal, historical, ethnographic, artistic, and folkloric data--in the reconstruction of animal symbolism.
