Animals in the Neolithic of Britain and Europe - D Serjeantson|David Field|Neolithic Studies Group

The twelve papers in this edited volume originated from the
Neolithic Studies Group seminar held at the British Museum on
10th November 2003 on the subject of Animals in the
Neolithic. This book includes most of the papers delivered
and debated at the meeting and others contributed later. The aim
of the book is to cover the range of current approaches to
animals in the Neolithic, and to encompass as wide a geographical
scope as possible in Europe. In particular, it is attempted to
ensure that both wild and domestic animals are discussed and that
their social as well as economic roles are given appropriate
attention. Umberto Albarella, a discussant at the meeting in
2003, has rounded off the volume with a commentary and discussion
on the papers which puts them into the perspective of changing
views of animals in the Neolithic of Europe.
