Anotace

The emergence and further development of European Neolithic societies was multi-scalar and highly diverse process. The book provides a detailed account of hitherto unexplored domains of relations between early farmers and their animals intertwined with the construction of Neolithic social and ritual space and landscape to assert social identity. The book is ethnographically informed, grounded in recent approaches in social anthropological and archaeological theory. It incorporates developments in their topical themes: agency, identity, community, household, landscape and place, particularly focusing on the historically contingent relationship of space and identity. The focus is very refreshing also for a zooarchaeological work. It is the first work to fuse recent theoretical advances in social archaeology and animal remains into a new approach to studying past communities. It deals with cutting-edge issues of archaeological analysis and interpretation, including the link between everyday practice and multi-scalar analysis of faunal remains as social data. It is theoretically sophisticated, covering topics such as non-economic roles of animals, animal categories, consumption modes, feasting, structured deposition. A great strength of the book is combination of rigorous zooarchaeological methodology and social and cultural theory. The explicit interest of this book goes beyond the ceremonial centres and spectacular material culture. These themes are explored through a broad range of data including twenty the Early and Middle Neolithic settlements from Central Europe. Faunal remains from these settlements are systematically scrutinised and juxtaposed by other archaeological evidence. The book holds interests for those studying the Neolithic, zooarchaeology and its applications, and archaeological theory. It opens interesting and controversial avenues. It can appeal to a European and North American audience. It is a comprehensive study that will be of value to specialists in many field and students, and accessible to non-specialists.
