The editors contend that  we can learn important lessons by studying long-term human and nonhuman influences on biota and ecosystems. From this perspective we can begin to  understand biogeographic dynamics and behavioral patterns that are invisible to  researchers who study living organisms over just a small span of  years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe focus of this volume is on the North American faunal record.  Contributors identify a specific management or conservation issue, describe and  analyze relevant zooarchaeological data, and offer recommendations or at least  establish a baseline for possible resolution. The volume brings together both  case studies and research about past ecosystems, and examines how such knowledge  can be of current utility and relevance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57974884630902,"sku":"9781607815716","price":23.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39935037.jpg?v=1779983496","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781607815716-zooarchaeology-and-conservation-biology","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
