Zooarchaeology in the Indo-Pacific region seeks to illuminate the dynamic interplay between humans, animals, and environments across deep time. This session invites papers that explore the full breadth of zooarchaeological inquiry—from subsistence strategies and domestication processes to taphonomic analyses, seasonality studies, and human-animal symbolism. Emphasizing integrative approaches, we welcome contributions that combine traditional faunal analysis with isotopic techniques, ancient DNA, morphometrics, spatial modelling, and computational tools. The session aims to foreground regional case studies that highlight cultural continuity and adaptation across coastal, highland, and island ecologies, while also encouraging broader theoretical discussions on resilience, mobility, and environmental change. By weaving together ecological, socio-economic, and ritual dimensions of faunal data, this session aims to deepen our understanding of the prehistoric lifeways unique to the Indo-Pacific, and to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue among archaeologists, ecologists, and ethnographers. Ultimately, the session aspires to position zooarchaeology not only as a tool for reconstructing past diets, but as a lens through which we can interrogate past relationships with the natural world—relationships that remain strikingly relevant today.
