Description
The Fish Remains Working Group (FRWG) of the International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ) will hold its 23rd Meeting from September 28th to October 2nd in Nice, hosted by the CEPAM laboratory (CNRS). The members of the Fish Remains Working Group form an interdisciplinary consortium of researchers (archaeozoologists, archaeologists, zoologists, ichthyologists, historians, and fisheries biologists) interested in the study of fish remains found at archaeological sites worldwide. The meeting will showcase the diversity of approaches, geographical areas, chronological periods, and themes, from the historical fluctuations of aquatic ecosystems to the diverse ways humans have exploited marine and freshwater environments through time. Fishing, fish farming, and the trade of fresh or preserved fish are just a few examples of economic activities centered on this essential resource. Furthermore, fish consumption may have had symbolic or religious significance in many cultures around the world. A particular focus will be placed on the historical dynamics of fisheries resources and the ecological impacts of fishing at various scales.

The Fish Remains Working Group (FRWG) was created during an informal meeting held at the Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen in 1980. Its members are an interdisciplinary consortium of researchers (archaeozoologists, archaeologists, zoologists, ichthyologists, historians, and fishery biologists) interested not only in the study of fish remains retrieved in archaeological sites from around the world, but also on any matter dealing with fishing, the fish trade, and fish consumption in prehistoric and historic times.
