Hi Julia,
It would probably be worth talking to Emily Blake who is doing her PhD at
Durham - she won the Association for Environmental Archaeology's John Evans
award for her amazing undergraduate dissertation that was on EVERYTHING
about fish in early human society.
Cheers, Naomi

Subject: [ZOOARCH] early human-fish relationships
Hello,
I wondered if anyone may be able to point me in the direction of literature
which looks at ancient representations of fish in art? Also, which
highlights the importance of marine resources to early humans as food,
linked to spirituality, art etc?
In particular, does anyone know of any literature surrounding this cave art
featuring fish?

Also, pictish salmon stone carvings (see attached)?
Are there any other ancient representations of fish that you know of?
I have been intrigued by the recent research into the possible importance of
animals to human evolution which has found that the human right amygdala
appears to be specialised for use in dealing with animals, supporting
Shipman's theory of 'the animal connection' (see attached), I'm
investigating this, specifically fish, as part of my PhD in human-fish
relationships.
Thanks very much for your help!
