Faunal analysis, also called zooarchaeology, is the study of the bones, teeth, scales or shells of animals from archaeological
sites. Analyzing faunal assemblages can significantly contribute to the understanding of the people who created the archaeological
deposits at the site.
There are many benifits of including faunal analysis in your reports such as:
providing a more unbiased view of socio-economic
status
seasonality studies
catchment areas determination
paleo-enviromental/habitat reconstruction
the flexibility to be tailored to fit any research question relating to any faunal bearing site
