Digital Zooarchaeology

Zooarchaeologists are increasingly employing digital technologies in their research into the archaeological history of the human use of animals. I served as co-editor of special issue of Ethnobiology Letters that highlights new technological approaches in zooarchaeology. This collection of open access articles builds upon papers presented during a symposium at the International Council for Archaeozoology Conference held in San Rafael, Mendoza Province, Argentina in September 2014. I thank the conference sponsors, co-editors, contributors, and conference organizers making the session a success.
