4.0 out of 5 stars
A good textbook for zooarchaeology,
By
This review is from: The Archaeology of Animal Bones (Texas A & M University Anthropology) (Hardcover)
I have once again ordered Terry O'Connor's excellent introduction to zooarchaeology as the primary text for my one semester long (13 weeks) course on zooarchaeology.
While this is not a comprehensive guide to zooarchaeology, I believe it is the best introduction currently available for undergraduate students, for the following reasons: a. it covers a wide range of topics, including areas that might receive less coverage in most North American courses (e.g. analysis of complex urban economies) b. it uses examples from a variety of areas c. it is well written, with little use of jargon d. each chapter serves very well to introduce major topics in zooarchaeology; these can be supplemented by journal readings selected by the instructor to provide more detailed case studies for students to read. e. it is reasonably priced |
