The archaeozoology research group brings together researchers from three academic institutions: the Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences and the Institute of History and Archaeology at the University of Tartu, as well as the School of Archaeology at Tallinn University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the archaeozoology team is to study the role of domesticated animals in human history. One of the key objectives is to investigate, through archaeological and genetic methods using animal bones and coprolites, the origins of various domestic animals introduced to our region, the continuity of their populations over time and space, and the changes brought about by environmental shifts and human migrations. We are also interested in how zoonotic diseases\u2014those transmitted between animals and humans\u2014have evolved over time, and how changes in the spread of domestic animals and zoonotic pathogens are interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n
