Animal and Human Interaction in the Early Medieval English World
This book is the fifth in a series of volumes exploring daily lives, material culture and environment in the early medieval English world. It explores the interactions between the peoples of early medieval England and their material surroundings, in this case, the relationship between people and other living creatures in their natural environment and the imagined creatures depicted in their literature and art. The collection is deeply interdisciplinary, using forensic archaeology, genetic testing, textual analysis of literary and documentary sources, and art historical study to assess the evidence for these relationships.
The volume is organized in three parts. Insights from Archaeology looks carefully at recent evidence for the role of animals in early medieval England through evidence for animal husbandry and medieval falconry to what surviving books and pages can tell us about animals through biocodicology.
