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.-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Neolithic period -- Great Britain -- Congresses Neolithic period -- Europe -- Congresses Agriculture, Prehistoric -- Great Britain -- Congresses Agriculture, Prehistoric -- Europe -- Congresses Animals, Fossil -- Great Britain -- Congresses Animals, Fossil -- Europe -- Congresses Animal remains (Archaeology) -- Great Britain -- Congresses Animal remains (Archaeology) -- Europe -- Congresses Neolithic period -- Great Britain Neolithic period -- Europe.
