Zooarchaeology is the discipline that deals with the study of faunal remains in archaeological sites, whether they are domestic animals or wildlife, from hunting or gathering. They can be found as waste products of human food, or even concentrated in rubbish dumps, shells, etc. They can also be found in other contexts, e.g. as funerary offerings, ornaments, bone industry, etc. In any of these cases, animal remains offer important information on the way of life and economy of human societies, information that can be obtained from different approaches through the application of different analytical techniques.
