************************************** * ZOOARCH * ************************************** PLEASE SAVE THIS MESSAGE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, IT CONTAINS VITAL INFORMATION ================================================================ Welcome to ZOOARCH ================================================================ ZOOARCH is devoted to Zooarchaeology, that is the analysis of animal remains from archaeological sites to reconstruct the cultural lifeways of people and the inter-relationships between people, animals, and the environment. This list aims to promote the flow of ideas, skills and information, and offers support to fellow zooarchaeologists. We seek messages to stimulate discussion on methodologies, analyses, interpretation, to help with sources of information and most of all to allow us all to share and improve our knowledge. Zooarchaeologists of all status, students, professionals and amateurs are welcome to contribute. Zooarch is supported by and works closely in association with the International Council of Archaeozoology (ICAZ).
