"Where the Wild Things Go: Animals in Ancient Maya Economy and Exchange"
Feb 29
Trent University Archaeological Research Centre presents a free public lecture by Erin Thornton. Dr. Thornton is an environmental archaeologist working primarily in the Maya cultural region. Specializing in both zooarchaeology and isotope analysis, her research investigates the acquisition, management and exchange of animal resources, as well as environmental questions regarding the interrelationship between humans, land-cover, wildlife populations and climate. Her recent work combines zooarchaeological and biomolecular analyses to investigate how animal resources, as subsistence, ritual and prestige goods, were incorporated into ancient Maya economic and exchange systems.
