Summary:

Anthropologists, archaeologists, and geographers explore issues and events in the science that applies zooarchaeological data sets to provide temporal information on biological and cultural changes and conditions relevant to conservation science. Their topics include zooarchaeological evidence for sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) breeding in northwestern Washington State; archaeological freshwater mussel remains and their use in the conservation of an imperiled fauna; the overkill hypothesis and conservation biology; paleozoological stable isotope data for modern management of historically extirpated Missouri black bears; and the past, present, and future of small terrestrial mammals in human diets. The 10 papers are from a session at the 2010 Society of Ethnobiology conference. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
