About this book

This photographic atlas, developed over twenty years of teaching in the field, expedites the work of the zooarchaeologist by integrating both osteology and wildlife ecology into a single volume. Zooarchaeology, the study of animal remains found at archaeological sites, is interdisciplinary in nature, requiring students and researchers to not only master the technical skills of identifying fragmentary bones and teeth but also of developing a deep understanding of the taxonomy, natural history, behaviour, and ecology of the species identified. Until now, these topics have always been treated separately. Zooarchaeology & Field Ecology is the only field guide and laboratory manual to combine animal ecology and natural history with the detailed osteology of all the vertebrate classes (fishes, amphibians, birds, and mammals) and all the primary orders native to western North America. Skeletal images are shown at a variety of magnifications and views and are accompanied by photographs of the animals in their characteristic habitats.

Media reviews

"Contains a wealth of information useful to vertebrate paleozoologists and also to forensic wildlife biologists. A rigorously scientific treatment. The book is superb; the photographs are excellent."
– R. Lee Lyman, Chair, Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri–Columbia

"No other book (or website for that matter) treats all the vertebrates from western North America in such a comprehensive fashion. This book fills an important niche."
– Virginia L. Butler, Professor, Department of Anthropology, Portland State University

"A very useful and welcome addition to the arsenal of tools available to zooarchaeologists. [...] This is unarguably an excellent volume that will make a positive contribution to any zooarchaeologist's bookshelf, and will certainly be of interest to the wider archaeological and ecological communities as well."
Canadian Journal of Archaeology
