“…Analysis of faunal assemblages from North American historical sites has expanded rapidly over the past several decades, 1 and within the last 15 years one of the areas of greatest growth has been the study of assemblages from urban sites. 2±12 These studies have expanded our understanding of dietary practices and food consumption, but have not fully explored the potential of faunal remains to provide insight into broader economic issues.…”

“…Robison (1978, 1987) have compiled information on the history and development of zooarchaeology in Eastern North America. Jolley (1983) reviewed the state of historical zooarchaeology as of the early 1980s, and Deagan (1996) has incorporated an assessment of many historical zooarchaeology studies in her broader overview of environmental archaeology in historical archaeology. Together, these authors identify many of the important themes in the development of historical zooarchaeology.…”

“…In addition to analyses of prehistoric assemblages, all three of these men published early studies of historic assemblages (Guilday, 1970;Olsen, 1964a;Parmalee, 1960). The first published study of a North American historic faunal assemblage dates to 1960 (Parmalee, 1960), setting a start date for historical zooarchaeology (Jolley, 1983).…”

This review assesses the development and current status of zooarchaeological research in historical archaeology. Analytical issues in recovery, identification, quantification and interpretation are discussed with particular reference to assemblages from historical sites. The results section summarizes the substantive contributions zooarchaeological studies of historical assemblages have made to our understanding of past diet, food production systems, social and cultural variation, and archaeological interpretations. The last four decades of research has provided a strong basis for future analyses that draw together diverse strands of zooarchaeological, historical, scientific, and anthropological evidence.

“…In North America, this practice can be traced to the very origins of historical zooarchaeology (e.g. Parmalee 1960; for histories and discussion of the development of historical zooarchaeology in North America, see Bogan andRobison 1978 andJolley 1983;Landon 2005Landon , 2009 and has remained a vibrant focus of scholarship ever since (e.g. Warner and Genheimer 2008).…”

In this paper, we contextualise the volume: 'Animals, and their bones, in the 'modern' world' by briefly reviewing the history of modern-era zooarchaeology and discussing research themes which have shaped previous studies. We also call attention to exciting avenues for future research and highlight the value of zooarchaeology in the 'modern' period, especially with regard to interdisciplinarity, multi-vocality and the influence of changing theoretical perspectives. RÉSUMÉAnimaux et leurs ossements, à l'ère « moderne » : une zooarchéologie multi scalaire. Dans cet article, nous offrons un contexte au volume « Animaux et leurs ossements, à l'ère moderne (AD1750-1900) » en parcourant l'histoire de la zooarchéologie moderne et en discutant les thèmes de recherche précédents qui ont fondé les études antérieures. Nous attirons également l'attention sur les passionnants chemins possibles pour de futures recherches et mettons en lumière la valeur de l'archéozoologie de l'époque moderne, particulièrement en regard avec l'interdisciplinarité et l'influence des évolutions des perspectives théoriques. MOTS CLÉSArchéozoologie, archéologie postmédiévale, archéologie historique, époque moderne, attitudes face à l'archéozoologie. KEY WORDS Zooarchaeology post-medieval archaeology, historical archaeology, modern era attitudes to zooarchaeology.
