This is a massive volume of fifty-four papers in memory of Sandor Bokonyi, the eminent Hungarian zooarchaeologist and author of an impressively long list of publications. The papers, by archaeologists, zooarchaeologists, historians, anthropologists and comparative linguists, reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of his work. They mainly concentrate on the zooarchaeology of prehistoric Central and Eastern Europe, ranging from the theoretical ( Attitudes to pets in the ethnolinguistic record by Eszter Banffy) to the firmly practical ( Comments on fish skeletal representation from Iberian archaeological settlements by Arturo Morales Muniz and Eufrasia Rosello Izquierdo). Other papers include: Can animal bones reflect household activities? A case study from a prehistoric site in Greece (Cornelia Becker); Of horse burial and horsemanship in Magna Grecia (Joseph Carter); Bronze Age red deer: case studies from the great Hungarian plain (Alic Choyke); The role of artificial selection in evolutionary thought (Juliet Clutton Brock); The Shanidar Cave Neanderthals: a reconstruction of their lifeways (Ralph Solecki).
