Man and the Animal World: Studies in Archaeozoology, Anthropology and Palaeolinguistics in Memoriam Sándor Bökönyi

By László Bartosiewicz, Wolfgang Meid, Erzsebet Jerem

This is a massive volume of fifty-four papers in memory of S ndor B k nyi, the eminent Hungarian zooarchaeologist and author of an impressively long list of publications. The papers, by archaeologists, zooarchaeologists, historians, anthropologists and comparative linguists, reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of his work. They mainly concentrate on the zooarchaeology of prehistoric Central and Eastern Europe, ranging from the theoretical ( Attitudes to pets in the ethnolinguistic record by Eszter B nffy) to the firmly practical ( Comments on fish skeletal representation from Iberian archaeological settlements by Arturo Morales Mu iz and Eufrasia Rosell Izquierdo). Other papers include: Can animal bones reflect household activities? A case study from a prehistoric site in Greece (Cornelia Becker); Of horse burial and horsemanship in Magna Grecia (Joseph Carter); Bronze Age red deer: case studies from the great Hungarian plain (Alic Choyke); The role of artificial selection in evolutionary thought (Juliet Clutton Brock); The Shanidar Cave Neanderthals: a reconstruction of their lifeways (Ralph Solecki).
