Summary:This handbook provides advice on best practice for the recovery, publication and archiving of animal bones and teeth from Holocene archaeological sites (ie from approximately the last 10,000 years). It has been written for local authority archaeology advisors, consultants, museum curators, project managers, excavators and zooarchaeologists, with the aim of ensuring that approaches are suitable and cost-effective. The objectives are to highlight zooarchaeological considerations in project planning; provide recommendations for zooarchaeological recovery, assessment, analysis, reporting and archiving; provide guidance on minimum standards.
