This initiative was first launched in 2016 during the inaugural edition held at the Musée de Confluences in Lyon and further consolidated at the second edition hosted by the American University in Cairo in 2019.
The Third Symposium, organised by the Department Asia, Africa e Mediterrano (DAAM) of the University of Naples "L'Orientale" (UniOr), in collaboration with the American University in Cairo, was hosted at UniOr from 15 to 17 June 2022.
The three intensive days of meetings and discussions provided a valuable opportunity to exchange and update theoretical and field research topics, as well as technical issues related to modern research technologies. Scholars from all over the world (Europe, United States, Egypt, Japan, Australia) have addressed a plethora of animal-related topics: archaeozoology, slaughter, mummification and related modern preservation-restoration techniques, funerary practices, religion, terminology and writing, arts and crafts, nutrition, role in daily life and the economy. The present volume contains the results that editors are pleased to share with colleagues as well as enthusiasts, just over a year after the symposium.
