In recent decades, a significant number of Pleistocene (ca. 2.6 million years–10,000 years ago) open-air and cave sites yielding elephant or mammoth bones in direct association with hominin remains and/or lithic artifacts have been discovered in Eurasia, Africa and America. Many of them show strong evidence of acquisition and processing of proboscidean carcasses by early humans, leading scientists to interpret them as “elephant butchering sites”. Indeed, proboscidean exploitation by early Homo has been proposed to have been critical for Palaeolithic human lifeways, influencing not only their subsistence, but also other aspects of early human evolution and adaptations. The nature and degree of interactions between humans and elephants comprises an important field in palaeoanthropological studies since decades, but many questions remain still unanswered or partially explored. By bringing together research papers from the fields of Palaeolithic Archaeology, Palaeoanthropology, Palaeontology, Zooarchaeology, Geology, Ethnography and Nutrition Studies, the book systematically covers a diverse array of perspectives on elephant-human interactions across the world from the Pleistocene times until today. The volume includes 19 contributions and is organized into four thematic sections: 1) The Palaeolithic record, 2) A view of the evidence, 3) Elephants in past human nutrition, and 4) Ethnography – Human-elephant interactions in recent Africa. Collectively, the volume not only showcases the current state of knowledge, but also intends to provoke renewed interest for current and further research, and build an interdisciplinary and synthetic understanding of the significance of proboscideans throughout human evolution.

"With the recent development of fine-tuned methodologies such as stable isotope analysis and physical activity assessment, the potential to understand how animals moved about in the past has increased substantially. While the chapters in the volume utilize a wide range of archaeological methods, they are all united by an emphasis on understanding animal activity and mobility patterns as something that has a major impact on human societies and human-animal relationships. Chapters in this volume show that animal activity patterns provide information on multiple aspects of human-animal relationships, including analysis of animal management practices, transhumance, global and regional trade networks, and animal domestication"--Page 4 of cover.

This volume is derived, in concept, from a conference held in honour of John Evans by the School of History and Archaeology and The Prehistoric Society at Cardiff University in March 2006. It brings together papers that address themes and landscapes on a variety of levels. They cover geographical, methodological and thematic areas that were of interest to, and had been studied by, John Evans. The volume is divided into five sections, which echo themes of importance in British prehistory. They include papers on aspects of environmental archaeology, experiments and philosophy; new research on th

قبل خمسة وأربعون عاماً، خرجت اليمن من فترة طويلة من الصراع والعزلة. في الميدان الثقافي، صاحبت هذه النهضة مكونًا أثريًا مهمًا، ركزت في البداية على العصور القديمة، وهي الحضارة العربية الجنوبية، ثم امتدت سريعا إلى عصور ما قبل التاريخ والإسلامية. يتتبع هذا الكتاب أكثر من أربعين عاماً من البحوث الأثرية الفرنسية، نُسقت ابتداءً من عام 1982 من قِبَل المركز الفرنسي للدراسات اليمنية، الذي أصبح المركز الفرنسي للأثار والعلوم الاجتماعية بصنعاء. ورغم التوقف الوحشي بسبب الصراعات الأخيرة، إلا أن الاكتشافات التي حققتها الفرق العديدة من علماء الآثار والمؤرخينتجعل من الممكن تتبع المراحل العظيمة لتطور بلد أسطوري، بلد ملكة سبأ. هذه الأرض شهدت ظهور الممالك والمدن التي كان تطورها نتيجة لاتقان متقدم للزراعةالمروية وزيادة في تجارةالقوافل ثم التجارة البحرية للراتنجات العطرية، والخيول والبن. من خلال الطابع الأثري لهندستها المعمارية، وصقل فنونها، والسحر الذي تبذله نقوشها، تبدو الحضارة العربية الجنوبية (جنوب شبه الجزيرة العربية)مختلفة تمامًا عن الصورة الخاطئة لصحراء عربيةيجوبها البدو الوحيدون. Il y a quarante-cinq ans, le Yémen est sorti d'une longue période de conflits et d'isolement. Dans le domaine culturel, cette renaissance s'est accompagnée d'un important volet archéologique, d'abord centré sur l'époque antique, celle de la civilisation sudarabique, puis rapidement étendu aux périodes préhistorique et islamique. Cet ouvrage retrace plus de quarante années de recherches archéologiques françaises, coordonnées à partir de 1982 par le Centre français d'Etudes yéménites, devenu le Centre français d'Archéologie et de Sciences sociales de Sanaa. Bien que brutalement stoppées par les conflits récents, les découvertes effectuées par les nombreuses équipes d'archéologues et d'historiens permettent de retracer les grandes étapes de l'évolution d'un pays légendaire, le pays de la reine de Saba. Cette terre a vu l'émergence de royaumes et de cités dont le développement fut le résultat d'une maitrise avancée de l'agriculture irriguée et de l'accroissement du commerce caravanier puis maritime des…

In this book, Krish Seetah uses butchery as a point of departure for exploring the changing historical relationships between animal utility, symbolism, and meat consumption. Seetah brings together several bodies of literature - on meat, cut marks, craftspeople, and the role of craft in production - that have heretofore been considered in isolation from one another. Focusing on the activity inherent in butcher, he describes the history of knowledge that typifies the craft. He also provides anthropological and archaeological case studies which showcase examples of butchery practices in varied contexts that are seldom identified with zooarchaeological research. Situating the relationship between practice, practitioner, material and commodity, this imaginative study offers new insights into food production, consumption, and the craft of cuisine.
