“…Zato ne iznenađuje da neki arheozoolozi kao jedino stvarno promišljeno rješenje predlažu istovremenu upotrebu više različitih pristupa, što bi izrazito smanjilo udio metodološki uvjetovanih pogrešaka (Klein i Cruz-Uribe 1984, 25). Problematiku kvantifikacije arheozooloških ostataka detaljno obrađuju brojni autori, uključujući Graysona (1984), Kleina i Cruz-Uribe (1984), Reitz i Wing (2008, 167-168) te Lymana (2008, 21-82;Lyman i Wolverton 2023).…”

This book ('Environmental Archaeology and Palaeoecology: Palynology, Archaeobotany, Archaeozoology and Geoarchaeology') is based on the translation of the Slovenian book, entitled Okoljska arheologija in paleoekologija: palinologija, arheobotanika in arheozoologija ('Environmental Archaeology and Palaeoecology: Palynology, Archaeobotany and Archaeozoology', 2016), written by Maja Andrič, Tjaša Tolar and Borut Toškan (Institute of Archaeology, ZRC SAZU). In addition to the translation of the book published in 2016 to Croatian, the work is supplemented by additional chapters dealing with this research in Croatia, including geoarchaeology, which is not covered in the Slovenian version. This part of the book was completed by Katarina Gerometta from the Jurja Dobrila College, Faculty of Philosophy in Pula, and Siniša Radović from the Institute of Palaeontology and Geology of the Quarter, HAZU in Zagreb. The authors present the ways (i.e. methods) and results of research of past environment. Plant and animal remains and deposited sediments found at archaeological sites and in marsh and lake sediments are a good source of information about the way of life, economy, nutrition habits, the former environment and human adaptations to it in different archaeological periods. It is the first comprehensive book presenting the fields of palynology, archaeobotany, archaeozoology and geoarchaeology in Croatian language. Co-publisher: Sveučilište Jurja Dobrile, Pula (Croatia)

“…Taxonomic ubiquity measures-often used to examine spatial patterning among zooarchaeological assemblages at individual sites (Lyman 1994;Lyman and Wolverton 2023)-were calculated to compare the proportions of EFC and LFC sites that preserved the bones of different types of animals. This analysis tested the regional extent to which people hunted certain animal populations.…”

Perspectives on human–animal relationships are changing in archaeology and related disciplines. Analytical models that distinguish foraging from food production remain popular, but scholars are beginning to recognize greater variability in the ways people understood and engaged with animals in the past. In southern Africa, researchers have observed that wild animals were economically and socially important to recent agropastoral societies. However, archaeological models emphasize cattle keeping and downplay the role of hunting among past farming groups. To address this discrepancy and investigate human–wild animal interactions over the last ~ 2000 years, we examined zooarchaeological data from 54 southern African Iron Age (first and second millennium AD) farming sites. Diversity and taxonomic information highlights how often and what types of animals people hunted. Comparisons with earlier and contemporaneous forager and herder sites in southern and eastern Africa show that hunting for social and economic purposes characterized the spread of farming and rise of complex societies in southern Africa. The long-term cultural integration of wild animals into food-producing societies is unusual from a Global South perspective and warrants reappraisal of forager/farmer dichotomies in non-Western contexts.

Comparación de dos sistemas de registros zooarqueológicos rápidos y sus resultados interpretativos a través de la Presencialidad Multivariable. Ventajas e inconvenientes

En el presente trabajo se realiza la comparación de dos métodos de procesado rápido del registro taxonómico con un tercero más exhaustivo y lento para comprobar hasta qué punto puede ser adecuado su utilización a falta de tiempo. Los resultados realizados sobre una muestra del yacimiento de la Motilla del Azuer perteneciente a la edad del Bronce manchego, apuntan a que existen variaciones según la metodología aplicada y que el tamaño de las especies y de sus restos forman parte intrínseca de dicha variación. También se incluye la Presencialidad Multivariable (PMV) como herramienta para minimizar las sobrerrepresentaciones que pueden generar parámetros básicos como: Número de Restos Determinados o Number of Individual Specimen, Número Mínimo de individuos y el Peso cuando basamos la interpretación en solo uno de estos de forma aislada.
