Archaeoprimatology intertwines archaeology and primatology to understand the ancient liminal relationships between humans and nonhuman primates. During the last decade, novel studies have boosted this discipline. This edited volume is the first compendium of archaeoprimatological studies ever produced. Written by a culturally diverse group of scholars, with multiple theoretical views and methodological perspectives, it includes new zooarchaeological examinations and material culture evaluations, as well as innovative uses of oral and written sources. Themes discussed comprise the survey of past primates as pets, symbolic mediators, prey, iconographic references, or living commodities. The book covers different regions of the world, from the Americas to Asia, along with studies from Africa and Europe. Temporally, the chapters explore the human-nonhuman primate interface from deep in time to more recent historical times, examining both extinct and extant primate taxa. This anthology of archaeoprimatological studies will be of interest to archaeologists, primatologists, anthropologists, art historians, paleontologists, conservationists, zoologists, historical ecologists, philologists, and ethnobiologists.
Read more- Brings together archaeoprimatological research in a single volume for the first time, providing researchers and graduate students with a broad and up-to-date understanding of this growing discipline
- Written by a culturally diverse group of scholars, many from the countries where studies have been conducted, ensuring readers recognise multiple theoretical views and methodological perspectives
- Covers a time span of millions of years up to more recent historical times, allowing readers to gain a deep time perspective and consider current primate conservation issues within a wider temporal context
