Witajcie,
As a result of attending the recent excellent AEA conference in Poland I have now joined a whole
new raft of Polish members to ZOOARCH and I hope we will continue to build on our worldwide
community.
With regard to medieval sites Marzena and Danilel Makowiecki have published some great papers on
the significance of medieval animals in Poland - they should be able to provide details.

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Medieval archaeozoology
Hi everyone!
I am looking for recomendations readings (articles) on archaeozoology for medieval history graduate
students for a short module (six lessons) I have unexpectedly been asked to teach this term. I am
especially interested in articles which integrate archaeozoological data with historical data in a
way that will make sense to people who are more-or-less uninterested in the technical aspects of the
discipline and would not be able to make much sense of them anyway.
The individual lessons are:
1. History of archaeozoological studies, general introduction to animals and human interactions
2. Taphonomy as a general concept for medieval animals studies
3. Animals as environmental indicators of medieval environments and landscape
4. Animals in household, rural, estate and urban subsistence, transhumance and trade during the
Middle Ages
5. Animals as material culture (crafts, special deposits) in the Middle Ages
6. Animals in ritual and as images and symbols in the Middle Ages
I am a bit puzzled how to teach 'boneless' archaeozoology and would appreciate some imput on good,
non-technical readings.
