Reflective Writing #1 Intro to Archaeology

After recovering a faunal assemblage, a zooarchaeologist commonly

preforms a faunal analysis (Kelly and Thomas 2014, p. 133). A faunal
analysis is a way to study bones and interpret why it was at that site. This is
important to archaeology because they can use the remains to find out how
old the site is, what parts of the faunal assemblage were used or eaten, and
how certain animals were used more than others.
