I will take a closer look at the suggested resources. I am not sure this will make things much clearer, but what I would ultimately like to investigate through ethnographic research is how well the faunal assemblages from our archaeological sites reflect the (animal) food people actually ate and the animals they exploited. An example of the latter aspect could be how the composition of the livestock herds really looked like and in how far our archaeozoological reconstructions are accurate.

(For free trial Email [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> for more information) I used this resource for my PhD research and in teaching when I was at Bradford. It is very well organised and easy to use, and includes documents dating back to at least 1704 (the oldest one that I used!) I hope that this is of use All the best, Hannah ________________________________ From: Veerle Linseele <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, 28 September 2012, 9:00 Subject: [ZOOARCH] ethnographic studies Dear all, Does anyone know whether ethnographic studies exist on the relationship between (1) the animals people keep/exploit, (2) the animal food they consume, (3) and the potential traces in the archaeological record (=bone remains deposited)? I would like to try to set up such a research in northern Benin (mainly farmer communities) and I am looking for similar studies and examples of questionnaires. Best wishes, Veerle
