El reconocimiento del papel de los animales en las antiguas dietas, en las economias, politicas y los rituales, es vital para poder entender a las culturas del pasado en su totalidad. Por el otro lado, seguir las claves que se obtienen de restos de animales preteritos puede aproximarnos a entender la antigua relacion que existia entre los humanos y el mundo que les rodeaba. En respuesta a un creciente interes en el campo de la zooarqueologia, este libro presenta investigaciones que representan a las multiples culturas y regiones de Mesoamerica, tratando especificamente los aspectos mas recurrentes en la literatura zooarqueologica. Desde el punto de vista geografico, los ensayos reunidos aqui informan acerca del uso de animales por parte de los pueblos indigenas de toda el area mesoamericana, ubicada entre los confines nortenos de Mexico y la frontera sur, en Centroamerica. Esto incluye culturas tan diversas como los olmecas, mayas, mixtecos, zapotecos e indigenas de Centroamerica. El marco temporal del libro se extiende desde el Preclasico y Clasico, sobre el Posclasico, los tiempos coloniales e historicos, hasta la epoca actual. Los capitulos del libro, escritos por expertos en la materia de la zooarqueologia mesoamericana, proporcionan un fondo de conocimiento general e importante acerca del uso domestico y ritual durante los tiempos tempranos y clasicos de Mesoamerica y Centroamerica, pero abarcan tambien aspectos especificos de la relacion entre humanos y animales, tales como la domesticacion temprana y el simbolismo de animales, asi como otros puntos aun pobremente entendidos, relacionados a la tafonomia y a la metodologia zooarqueologica.
