	Zooarchaeology Laboratory
		The zooarchaeology laboratory is the center for training undergraduate and graduate students in the major methods and techniques used in archaeological faunal analysis.
		Research and training is designed to prepare students in the analysis of animal remains associated with archaeological sites, and from these analyses infer behavioral patterns of the inhabitants, understand their adaptations to the environments in which they lived, and reconstruct past environments.

	WELCOME (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It was not easy to build up a firm practical or intellectual foundation in the absence of appropriate programs at universities, of professionals who are able to orient and advise the student, of proper facilities like laboratories with good comparative collections and libraries with relevant books and journals.
		At the beginning of my interest in zooarchaeology, I got an introductory level informal training from Ignacio Lopez Bayon, a Spanish archaeologist and archaeozoologist who used to be affiliated with the Prehistory Department of Liege University, in the summer of 1994.
		My research interests are zooarchaeology; the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene; settlement patterns; paleoeconomy; hunter-gatherer adaptations and their subsistence patterns; hunting strategies and butchering practices; taphonomy in zooarchaeology; the origins of animal domestication, the emergence of farming communities, and emergence of social complexity and state formation.

	New Directions in Zooarchaeology
		This, I think, is the new direction that zooarchaeology in New England can take, quality comprehensive analysis based on standardized recording and presentation techniques that are informative and questioning of the faunal assemblages, all within a CRM budgetary framework.
		She correctly points out as well that today, the bulk of the most recent faunal work is located in the so called "gray literature" of contract archaeology reports and the bulk of the best and most comprehensive studies have been the result of university or other non-contract sponsored excavations.
		Within a CRM framework, high quality zooarchaeology, as well as many other specialist fields such as paleobotany, palynology and lithic analysis, based on standardized recording and presentation techniques that are informative and questioning of the faunal assemblages, can be accomplished.

		Drawing on material from all over the world, and covering a time span from the Pleistocene to the nineteenth century AD, the emphasis is on animals whose remains inform us about many aspects of the relationships between humans and their natural and social environments, especially site formation processes, subsistence strategies, and paleoenvironments.

	Zooarchaeology
		Some zooarchaeology, including the study of crustaceans, deals with Phylum other than Chordata but for the purposes of this project, only the Chordata Phylum, animals with a spinal cord or vertebral column, will be analyzed.
		Class identification includes the sorting of a faunal assemblage into mammal, fish, bird, reptile and amphibian remains and usually is undertaken as the initial sort of an assemblage.
		The simplest method for determining the Order of faunal remains is through analysis of teeth, which preserve well in archaeological contexts.

	Introduction to Zooarchaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Zooarchaeology is the study of faunal remains (bone and shell) from archaeological contexts to understand human use of animals for both food and other purposes.
		We examine the application of zooarchaeology to different types of research questions and archaeological assemblages.
		Once you have mastered skeletal biology and systematics (taxonomy for different vertebrates), you will identify a sample of vertebrate faunal material from an archaeological assemblage and prepare a report on that material.

	Anth 298C: Zooarchaeology & Field Ecology
		Zooarchaeology is the interdisciplinary subfield of archaeology which centers around the identification and interpretation of animal remains from archaeological sites.
		The interdisciplinary nature of zooarchaeology poses certain intractable difficulties for adequate instruction and learning, some of which we attempt to rectify in this concentrated field class.
		The course is taught jointly by Dr. Frank E. Bayham, Raymond J. Bogiatto and Antoinette Martinez whose backgrounds span archaeology, zooarchaeology, biology, and ecology.

		The specific focus is on the investigation of the organizational structure and social relations within the context of varying subsistence economies, especially with respect to whaling vs. non-whaling economies.
		Major components of the research involve analyses relating to zooarchaeology (osteometrics; utility index derivation and application; dental annuli analysis), settlement archaeology, and intrasite spatial patterns.
		The primary data base is derived from regional surveys and excavations in the central Canadian Arctic over the past 20 years, with additional data derived from recent (1996, 1998) whale bone surveys in Alaska, and ethnoarchaeological studies conducted among modern Inuit (Eskimo) whaling societies.

	#2 Archaeological Research at CSU Chico: The Zooarchaeology Lab
		"Zooarchaeology" is a perfect example, a subfield of archaeology that provides a melding between anthropology and the biological sciences centering around the identification and interpretation of animal remains from archaeological sites.
		The three-week course simultaneously introduces students to zooarchaeology, animal osteology, fragmentary bone identification, and animal ecology via an intensive program of lectures, laboratory exercises, and field visits to Eagle Lake habitats and major archaeological sites of Northeastern California and the Great Basin.
		Bayham's goal for the future is to further the educational mission of the zooarchaeology program by continuing to build on the Zooarchaeology Lab, expanding interdisciplinary activities, and further assisting students to achieve competence in vertebrate identification and an appreciation of interpretive potential of zooarchaeologi-cal remains.
