The cooperation between falconers and scientists from the Natural Sciences and the Humanities? from the?A? of Archaeology to?Z? of Zoology?, is documented by the c. 100 articles of authors from over 20 countries, from Spain and Portugal to Japan, including the United Arab Emirates and Northern America. 0A short summary each in the English, Arabian, German and Russian, language is included in this publication.0Key questions of the book:0- What about the present standing of falconry from a supra-regional perspective and against the background of falconry's position on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity?0- How certain are we about the actual area and date of the origin of falconry?0- Which methodological problems exist for identifying skeletons of trained birds of prey, and from which archaeological find contexts do the bird bones originate?0- To what extent does falconry in historical accounts, literary descriptions and depictions really reflect actual hunting practices? Which sources reflect a stereotypical noblesse oblige in terms of hunting, and which sources carry an allegoric meaning independent from or beyond falconry?0- Is the practice of name-giving with a reference to raptor birds proof of the same person acting as a falconer, and what about place and field names related to birds of prey and, more specifically, falconry?
