Zooarcheological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated in Southwest Asia ∼8,500 BC. They then spread across the Middle and Near East westward into Europe alongside early agriculturalists. European either independently or more likely appeared so as a result of admixture between introduced wild boar. As result, boar mtDNA lineages replaced Eastern/Anatolian signatures subsequently indigenous domestic pig Anatolia. The specific details these processes, however, remain unknown. To...
Over the last 10,000 y, humans have manipulated fallow deer populations with varying outcomes. Persian ( Dama mesopotamica ) are now endangered. European dama globally widespread and simultaneously considered wild, domestic, endangered, invasive even national animal of Barbuda Antigua. Despite their close association people, there is no consensus regarding natural ranges or timing circumstances human-mediated translocations extirpations.

Abstract The Persian fallow deer ( Dama dama mesopotamica ) is currently a threatened species. However, it played an important role in many Late Glacial and Early Holocene human societies the Near Middle East. This especially true of island Cyprus, where was introduced at beginning Neolithic held predominant place subsistence throughout Cypriot prehistory until Bronze Age. earliest levels extensive Pre‐Pottery B site Shillourokambos, occupied between 8400 7000 cal. bc , provided 3036...
Abstract Reliable ageing techniques for wild animals are notoriously challenging to develop because of the scarcity sizeable collections known‐age specimens. Without such it is difficult reconstruct hunting patterns, which a significant problem examination assemblages from pre‐farming cultures. This paper presents new method, based on mandibular tooth eruption and wear, assessing age fallow deer. The method was developed large collection ( n = 156) Dama dama specimens, has been blind tested...
Southwest Asia is at the epicenter of zooarchaeological research on pivotal changes in human history such as animal domestication and emergence social complexity. This volume continues long tradition ASWA conference series publishing new results zooarchaeology southwest adjacent areas. The book organized three thematic first presents methodological tools approaches study remains exemplified through studies domestication, butchery practices, microdebris, intrasite contextual comparisons...
