Dear Colleagues, I’m reaching out to zooarchaeologists who are interested contributing to an ICAZ session on Animal Health in the Archaeological Record. I anticipate that the papers would integrate specific data revealing the conditions impacting animals in the past as they shared their environments with humans. I’d be interested in papers on feeding ecology from isotopes or toothwear, on skeletal paleopathology, on parasitology, on the structures for confinement or care, or on evidence for landscape and vegetation history in relation to grazing/feeding. While most of the data I am considering relates to domesticated animals, I would be very excited to see contributions from those working on non-domesticated species, and on non-mammals.
Please let me know if you are interested, or if you are planning a session on a related theme.
best,
Kate Moore
