Until very recently, zooarchaeology was heavily focused on diet and subsistence economy, especially for prehistoric periods.

Exploring the briader significance of ancient animals provides a richer ppicture of past societies, Even those primarily interested in utuilitarian aspects of animal use need to account for that social factors that shaped zooarchaeological assemblages as much as taphonomic processes"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
