This work examines fossil insects from the excavation of Late Bronze Age Akrotiri, Santorini, Greece, and from an Egyptian site of Roman age, Mons Claudianus. Insect samples from ancient Egyptian botanical material and coprolites from Tut'ankhamun's Workmen's village are also discussed. As most of the insect material studied was recovered from stored products, the accounts of Classical writers on foodstuff storage are discussed in detail. A study of the archaeoentomology of the Bronze Age settlement excavated on Santorini follows. The insect fauna of the settlement is considered, most of it recovered from the West House at Akrotiri. Highlights include the cocoon of a wild silk moth and a model hive, with discussion of the early evidence for silk-weaving and beekeeping. Finally, a summary of trade in perishable material and its importance for the reconstruction of past cultures shows the value of archaeoentomological research.

"Insects are the form of life most alien to us. Across millennia, insects have been providers and sources of food as well as feared vectors of infection. Particular insect types have come to be associated with beauty, diligence, and social and divine order, whilst others have become symbols of invasion, disease, and social decay. Today, insects are used to create luxury goods, to pollinate crops, to color political rhetoric, and to contribute to modern-day logistics, genetics, and forensics. A Cultural History of Insects reveals how our relationship with insects - in life and in death - is one of our most productive and intimate"--

Insects and Wildlife: Arthropods and their Relationships with Wild Vertebrate Animals provides a comprehensive overview of the interrelationships of insects and wildlife. It serves as an introduction to insects and other arthropods for wildlife management and other vertebrate biology students, and emphasizes the importance of insects to wild vertebrate animals. The book emphasizes how insects exert important influences on wildlife habitat suitability and wildlife population sustainability, including their direct and indirect effects on wildlife health. Among the important topics covered are: the importance of insects as food items for vertebrate animals; the role of arthropods as determinants of ecosystem health and productivity; the ability of arthropods to transmit disease-causing agents; an overview of representative disease-causing agents transmitted by arthropods; arthropods as pests and parasites of vertebrates; the hazards to wildlife associated with using using pesticides to protect against insect damage; insect management using techniques other than pesticides; the importance of insect conservation and how insects influence wildlife conservation.
