Abstract

This new volume in the acclaimed Amsterdam Archaeological Studies series explores the roles of animals in a rural community in the civitas Batavorum in the 1st to 3rd centuries ad. Large-scale excavations of two settlements and a cremation cemetery in Tiel-Passewaaij have yielded an animal bone assemblage of around 30,000 fragments. The study compares data from both the settlements and the cemetery, assessing the role of livestock in the local economy and the production of surplus products for the Roman market. The author also investigates the use of animals in funerary and other rituals. The inclusion of a catalogue of special animal deposits makes it a valuable reference work for animal bone specialists. Amsterdam Archaeological Studies is a series devoted to the study of past human societies from the prehistory up into modern times, primarily based on the study of archaeological remains. The series will include excavation reports of modern fieldwork; studies of categories of material culture; and synthesising studies with broader images of past societies, thereby contributing to the theoretical and methodological debates in archaeology.

Abstract

Entre le ve et xie siècle, la vision du monde animal que donne la littérature occidentale est la résultante de bien des héritages : gréco-romain, judéo-chrétien, mais aussi celtique ou germanique... Jacques Voisenet en détermine ici la nature et le poids. Il montre aussi que le bestiaire du Haut Moyen Âge n'est pas dénué d'une certaine nouveauté : les clercs ont su adapter les acquis du passé au système symbolique du christianisme et faire de la faune un véritable instrument au service de la foi.
