Hunting, slaughtering, fishing in the past - archaeological animal bone finds and the history of nutrition

Animals played a variety of roles in the societies of the past. Among other things, they were a central part of the human diet, providing live products such as milk and meat. Dr. Simon Trixl from the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments will provide exciting insights into archaeozoology and show what can be learned about the use of domestic and wild animals by examining animal remains from archaeological excavations and how changes over the millennia are reflected in them.
The lecture is part of this year's series of events on archaeology in cooperation with the Central Archaeological Archive of the Baden-Württemberg State Archaeological Museum and the Rastatt City Museum.
Attendance is free of charge and registration is not necessary. The lecture will take place in the Central Archives of the Archaeological State Museum of Baden-Württemberg (Lützowerstr. 10, access via Militärstr./Leopoldplatz).
