Description
Beastly Questions: Animal Answers to Archaeological Issues by Naomi Sykes is an important and thought-provoking volume that challenges conventional views in archaeology. By integrating knowledge from archaeological remains with evidence from texts, iconography, social anthropology, and cultural geography, this study encourages new perspectives on the role of animals in human societies. This accessible yet in-depth book explores a range of high-profile topics in European archaeology, including cultural responses to wild animals, the domestication of animals, and their impact on daily practice and ideology. It also examines the transportation of species, the value of incorporating animals into landscape research, and the significance of studying foodways for understanding past societies. By exploring these topics, Beastly Questions offers novel interpretations of mainstream archaeological questions and sheds new light on issues of human identity and ideology, both in the past and in the present.
