An Introduction to Zooarchaeology
This volume is a comprehensive, critical introduction to vertebrate zooarchaeology, the field that explores the history of human relations with animals from the Pliocene to the Industrial Revolution. The book is organized into five sections, each with an introduction, that leads the reader systematically through this swiftly expanding field. Section One presents a general introduction to zooarchaeology, key definitions, and an historical survey of the emergence of zooarchaeology in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and introduces the conceptual approach taken in the book. This volume is designed to allow readers to integrate data from the book along with that acquired elsewhere within a coherent analytical framework.

Familicidal Fake: Scott Peterson
In the early morning hours of Wednesday, 17th March 2005, St. Patrick's Day, Scott Lee Peterson arrived at San Quentin State Prison but he was not wearing green. He may have been a little green around the gills. He was reported not to have slept the night before, being too "jazzed" to sleep. He joined other inmates in California's sole death row facility. His case is currently on automatic appeal to the Supreme Court of California in San Francisco. This is the forensic numerological criminal profile of Scott Lee Peterson and a forensic analysis of Laci and their unborn eight months son Conner whom he murdered and whose bodies he dumped in the cold waters of the San Francisco Bay on Christmas Eve 2002. Also, an analysis of Amber Frey, his clandestine lover who turned police informant and star witness for the prosecution when she discovered he was married and his pregnant wife was missing.
