Michael J. Allen (Ed.) - Molluscs in Archaeology: methods, approaches and applications
Oxbow Books, Oxford and Philadelphia, 2017 This the first book of its type to include both land and marine shells. This book introduces you to land snails and marine shells - showing what snails and shells can do for you. Environment economy, diet, trade, artefacts from UK to the Med. The subject of ‘Molluscs in Archaeology’ has not been dealt with collectively for several decades. This new volume in Oxbow’s Studying Scientific Archaeology series addresses many aspects of molluscs in archaeology. It will give the reader an overview of the whole topic, both methods of analysis and approaches to interpretation. It aims to be a broad-based text book giving readers an insight into how to apply analysis to different present and past landscapes, and how to interpret those landscapes. It includes marine, freshwater and land snail studies, and examines topics such as diet, economy, climate, environment and land-use, isotopes and molluscs as artefacts. It aims to provide archaeologists and students with the first port of call giving them a) methods and principles, and b) the potential information molluscs can provide. It concentrates on analysis and interpretation most archaeologists and students can undertake and understand, and reviews the ‘heavier’ science in terms of potential, application and interpretational value. In conjunction with the Conchological Society of Great Britain & Ireland. |
