Ashby Department of Archaeology, University of York Introduction Social inequality is ubiquitous in human society, and the concept of social standing has been of fundamental importance throughout time (Price and Feinman 1995). The inference of social status has encountered problems in many areas of archaeology (see Orser 1990; Grenville 1997), and the use of zooarchaeology as part of an integrated approach may contribute to our understanding of important issues (Crabtree 1990).

  • Experimental Zooarchaeology: Research Directions and Methods
    [ CHAPTER ELEVEN ] Experimental Zooarchaeology: Research Directions and Methods Patrick M. Lubinski and Brian S. Shaffer m m m m m m m m m Zooarchaeology, put simply, is the study of animal remains from archaeological sites (Reitz and Wing 1999:1). In the United States the term is used interchange- ably with terms such as faunal analysis, archaeozoology, and osteoarchaeology (Baker, Shaffer, and Steele 1997:298). The research goals of zooarchaeologists can be divided into three broad camps: those primarily biological in nature (e.g., paleoenvironmental studies, paleozoogeography), those primarily anthropological in nature (e.g., studies of human mobility, diet, butchery, hunting patterns, exchange systems), and those focused on methods (e.g., quantification, identification, field methods for recovery). Experimental zooarchaeology can be thought of as the derivation and use of experimental data to interpret the zooarchaeological record. As an interdisciplin- ary field, zooarchaeology can be informed by experimental work from a variety of perspectives, such as zoology, geochemistry, paleontology, forensic anthropology, and ethnoarchaeology. Because of this breadth of goals, perspectives, and disciplin- ary affiliations, any discussion of experimental zooarchaeology in general requires a statement of limitations. For the purposes of this chapter, we limit ourselves primar- ily to the archaeological literature, with a focus on laboratory or actualistic experi- ments. Although they are typically considered part of zooarchaeology, we largely 241 11ferguson.indd 241 2/5/2010 4:00:39 PM 242 PATRICK M. LUBINSKI AND BRIAN S. SHAFFER avoid reference to experiments on bone artifacts, which are discussed elsewhere in this volume (Bement, this volume). We also exclude reference to experimental ele- mental and molecular-level investigations of animal remains, such as trace element, stable isotope, and protein studies.
