"Broughton and Miller offer a rare hybrid that straddles zooarchaeology and wildlife ecology. The result is an atlas that both novice and expert zoologists should have at their fingertips when analyzing faunas from western North America."-- Journal of Anthropological Research "The volume gives zooarchaeologists the tools needed to develop the intuitive process that will aide them in making identifications, but also interpreting their finds. I wholeheartedly recommend Zooarchaeology & Field Archaeology: A Photographic Atlas as a key text for introductory zooarchaeology courses and as a welcome supplement to any zooarchaeological laboratory library."-- Historical Archaeology "More than a lab manual. Zooarchaeology and Field Ecology helps to disclose a broader set of evolutionary and ecological values that we would all be wise to keep fresh in our minds."-- Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology "It is unique in its attempt to bring together a succinct overview of the behavior of many species found in the west today, alongside clear descriptions of vertebrate skeletal morphology. Broughton and Miller make a solid case for the importance of understanding the life history and ecology of animals as part of the archaeological research.
"-- California Archaeology "A very useful and welcome addition to the arsenal of tools available to zooarchaeologists.This is unarguably an excellent volume that will make a positive contribution to any zooarchaeologist's bookshelf, and will certainly be of interest to the wider archaeological and ecological communities as well."-- Canadian Journal of Archaeology "No other book (or website for that matter) treats all the vertebrates from western North America in such a comprehensive fashion. This book fills an important niche."-- Virginia L. Butler , Professor, Department of Anthropology, Portland State University "Contains a wealth of information useful to vertebrate paleozoologists and also to forensic wildlife biologists. A rigorously scientific treatment. The book is superb; the photographs are excellent.
