Abstract
Between trust and domination; social contracts between humans and animals
Kristin Armstrong Oma
175 - 187
Critiques Ingold's hypothesis of a shift from hunter-gatherer cultures to agro-pastoral cultures regarding perceptions of, and engagements with, animals via an in-depth discussion of the concepts of trust, reciprocity and intimacy. Suggests an alternative model to the dualism of either trust or domination, namely the notion of a social contract between humans and animals. The uses of this model are explored through Bronze Age case studies from southern Scandinavia.\r\n
Both subject and object; herding, inalienability and sentient property in p...
David C Orton
188 - 200
Advocates a social approach to domestic animals in prehistory, one which situates herding practices in their (human) social context while also recognizing the status of animals of social beings in their own right. Domestic animals, it is argued, represent sentient property in the sense that, despite being incorporated as 'objects' into property relations between humans they remain subjects whose social world overlaps with that of humans. This tension between the status of domestic animals as subject and as object is played out in highly context-specific ways, being linked both to human social organization and to material/geographical aspects of herding practices. These ideas are used to develop a model for the role of cattle in a process of social change that took place during the later Neolithic VinÄa period in the central Balkans.

Aleks Pluskowski
201 - 214
Considers whether trends in animal exploitation can be associated with the Christian world view of dominion, and with the very idea of what it meant to be Christian, from a zooarchaeological perspective.
