Faunal Remains and Subsistence Strategies
HLO 1‐south
Site HLO 1 (Sharjah, UAE ), situated in a particularly favourable geographical position, has provided an extraordinary range of anthropogenic radiocarbon dates, spanning before 8000 to Zero BCE . The Neolithic is represented by finds from the eighth to the fifth millennium BCE . Apart from the dated fireplaces, however, there are almost no typical artefacts of this period. Small stone structures appear to have been early Neolithic graves. A middl…
Tell Abraq during the second and first millennia BC
Research recommenced at Tell Abraq in 2007, carried out by Bryn Mawr College with an international team in co‐operation with the Sharjah Archaeology Authority. Between 2007 and 2010 fieldwork was limited to documenting sections of the previous excavations and one small sounding while our attention focused mainly on the nearby shell‐midden site of Hamriya and the fortified Iron Age settlement site of Muweilah. Since 2010, large‐scale excavations h…
Neolithic nomadism in south‐east Arabia — strontium and oxygen isotope ratios in human tooth enamel from al‐Buhais 18 and Umm al‐Quwain 2 in the Emirates of Sharjah and Umm al‐Quwain ( UAE )
Human skeletal remains from the Neolithic sites BHS 18 in the interior of the Sharjah Emirate and the Neolithic shell midden UAQ 2 (Umm al‐Quwain) on the coast of the Persian Gulf (United Arab Emirates, UAE ) were analysed for their isotope ratios of strontium ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) and oxygen ( 18 O/ 16 O). The results are not in agreement with earlier assumptions about a Neolithic nomadism between inland regions and the south‐eastern coast of the Pers…
The Neolithic period in the Central Region of the Emirate of Sharjah (UAE)
Stratified sites at Jebel Faya in the Central Region of the Emirate of Sharjah provide evidence for successive ‘facies’ of the Neolithic period. The oldest facies — found at FAY ‐ NE 1 — yielded 14 C dates in the late ninth millennium cal BC and is characterised by blade arrowheads which are morphologically similar to PPNB points. With 14 C dates from the late eighth and early seventh millennia cal BC , a techno‐complex of large flint artefacts f…
Neolithic cremation in south‐east Arabia
Small fragments of cremated human bone, clearly representing numerous individuals, were found in a stratified Neolithic context in a small cave at Jebel Faya in the Central Region of the Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. With radiocarbon dates between 6500 and 5800 cal BC , they are among the earliest well‐documented cases of cremations in south‐west Asia. Taxonomic identification of the small burned bone fragments is based on morphologic…
A ‘new’ palaeolithic dog from central Europe
Kesslerloch Cave in Switzerland is one of the major Magdalenian sites in Central Europe. During a recent reanalysis of the faunal remains, we identified a cranial fragment and teeth of the domestic dog. The large maxillar fragment was directly dated to 12.225±45 bp (KIA‐33350) or c. 14.100‐14.600 BP. The finds are metrically well below the natural variability of wolves from both Palaeolithic and recent times and even show slight morphological dif…
Multi‐disciplinary research on the past human ecology of the east Arabian coast
The results of two seasons of research at Hamriya and Tell Abraq (Sharjah, UAE) by an international team of researchers are presented. The research has revealed extensive evidence for occupation from c. 5000 BC to the recent past adjoining lagoon areas that face the Arabian Gulf. C 14 analysis of shells has contributed to understanding the chronology of settlement and also assisted our understanding of species‐specific deviation from the global r…
Fish exploitation at Bronze Age harbour sites in the Arabian Gulf area
Some 60 000 finds offish bones from Bronze-Age harbour sites on the Arabian shores of the Irano-Arabian Gulf were evaluated with regard to their contribution to the understanding of the role of fisheries within the subsistence activities of the inhabitants. Fishing grounds and potential technologies - as reflected in the spectra offish species - were analysed. Both coastal and open waters were exploited at all sites, the catches usually reflectin…
Middle Palaeolithic subsistence in the Lone Valley (Swabian Alb, southern Germany)
Southern Germany is rich with Palaeolithic cave sites, many of which are concentrated in the extensive karst systems of several river valleys. Artefact inventories and faunal assemblages from these sites are renowned but less is known about the Middle Palaeolithic faunas. This paper provides an evaluation of faunas from key Middle Palaeolithic cave localities of the Lone Valley including new results from the sites of Bockstein and Vogelherd. Thes…

Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene finds from Öküzini
Les résultats d'un sondage effectué en 1989 dans la grotte ď Öküzini — présentés ici— apportent, avec les travaux récents dans la grotte voisine de Karain В, une contribution à la connaissance du peuplement de la région ď Antalya jusqu'au début de l'Holocène. Alors que vers 12 500 BP Karain servait uniquement de station de chasse, Öküzini témoigne d'une utilisation plus grande des ressources végétales. La région semble alors avoir été exploitée e…
Qurum
First evidence of prehistoric coastal adaptations along the Arabian shores of the Indian Ocean is being recovered at Qurum in the Sultanate of Oman. The cluster of shell‐middens currently excavated relates to a small population of fishermen of the 5th and 4th millennia B.C. having a strongly maritime‐oriented culture. The economy was based on local resource intensification, but stock‐breeding of goats and cattle was practised as well, suggesting …

Animal bone finds and economic archaeology
This paper describes how the study of animal bones from archaeological sites ('osteo‐archaeology') may contribute to our reconstruction of cultural and economic history. Methods of identification, quantification and sex and age determination are critically reviewed. The basic problem of relating bone debris at archaeological sites to a prehistoric animal population is discussed
