*Session Abstract*

Animals are exploited by humans in a variety of ways. Archaeozoological
studies often stress food consumption and production although animals were
also important sources of raw materials (leather, bone, antler, tooth,
shell, etc). This research field has lately started expanding, especially
since the formation of the WBRG and AMWG within ICAZ. The first raw
material session for hard osseous materials was held at the Paris ICAZ in
2010.

In this session, we are looking for universal patterning in the way animals
are used as sources for raw materials, stressing comparative aspects.
Papers may focus on choice of taxa, biomechanics, subsistence,
ethno-archaeology, ethnography, availability, and raw material selection,
technical style and social identities, as well as symbolic and ritual
aspects of raw material exploitation.

The symposium will be presented in two parts and, for the first time, the
Archeomalocology working group (AMWG) will join forces with the Worked Bone
Research Group (WBRG).

*Part I - Technological Issues*

*Section Coordinators: Dr. Vivian Scheinsohn – Dr. Natacha Buc*

Topics may range from the earliest times to the present. Methodological and
theoretical contributions such as morphological variability, tool use,
manufacturing processes, experimental programs, microscopic analysis, and
taphonomic studies as these relate to raw material studies would also be
welcome additions.

*Part II - Socio-cultural issues*

*Section Coordinators: Dr Annalisa Christie and Dr. Alice M. Choyke*

This section focuses more on what animal remains can tell us about the
societies and cultures exploiting them. Themes that could be discussed
could include: How and by whom these resources were exploited, how this
exploitation was organized within society, what the resources were used for
(ornamentation, subsistence, economic purposes) and how these secondary
stages of exploitation were executed.

We look forward to meeting you in San Rafael

Best
