This volume reflects the breadth of work being undertaken on the ancient relationship between humans and cattle across Europe, Africa, and Asia, and from the late Pleistocene to postmedieval period. It uses various zooarchaeological methods, combined with ethnography, isotopes, and genetics, to explore this relationship. The session at the 2018 International Council of Archaeozoology conference in Ankara, Turkey, aimed to bring together zooarchaeologists and their colleagues from other research fields to discuss this topic.

The contributions in this volume reflect the breadth of work being undertaken on the ancient relationship between humans and cattle across the continents of Europe, Africa, and Asia, and from the late Pleistocene to postmedieval period. Almost all involve the study of archaeological cattle remains. They use different zooarchaeological methods, but the combinations of these varied approaches with that of ethnography, isotopes, and genetics is a major feature.
