Zooarchaeology (Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology)

Rating:
Summary: The Zooarchaeologist's Bible!
Review: Certainly the best overall book on the subject of Zooarchaeology. Useful for both the student and professional, it provides great detail on all aspects of this field and has many valuable references. It is superbly used as a textbook, and is a must-have for all archaeologists or anybody else that wishes to learn more about historic or prehistoric human interaction with animals. Dr. Wing founded the Zooarchaeology laboratories at the Florida Museum of Natural History (Gainesville, FL) and as curator, she is considered one of the leading experts in the field. Dr. Reitz is Director of Georgia's Museum of Natural History and is also highly regarded as a leading expert. I certainly keep this book at close hand on my reference shelf!
