Bridging morphometrics and Archaeogenetics
The petrous part of the temporal bone is a target for ancient DNA research due to its biomolecular preservation, yet destructive sampling risks losing valuable morphological information. Bony labyrinth morphology, captured by high-resolution 3D imaging, carries strong taxonomic and evolutionary signals, but its bioarchaeological application remains limited. We assessed the potential of bony labyrinth geometric morphometrics (GMM) for species iden…

A new strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isoscape of the Iberian Peninsula is provided with an open-access R script. • Carbon and oxygen isotopes show horses received fodder, while caprines relied on local grazing resources. • Multi-isotopic analysis offers new insights into Tartessian livestock management and animal husbandry (5th c. BCE). • Findings illuminate the scale and cultural significance of mass animal sacrifice in Iron Age Iberia. The excavations a…
Years of morphometric evolution of sheep, goat and pig in the northwestern Mediterranean basin
Understanding how domestic mammal species evolved through time provides insight into the artificial and natural selection processes that have shaped the diversity of domestic animals. The focus of this article is the morphometric evolution of sheep, goats and suids in the Northwestern Mediterranean Basin over the last 8000 years, employing a 2D geometric morphometrics protocol applied to the third lower molars. Using a comprehensive dataset compr…
Multifactorial temporo-spatial structuring of the morphological diversity of domestic pigs, sheep, and goats between Catalonia (Spain) and Languedoc (France) from the Iron Age to Antiquity

Gestión ganadera durante la Edad del Bronce Medio y Final en Mallorca (Islas Baleares). El caso del poblado de Els Closos de Ca’n Gaià
En las últimas décadas ha habido un aumento exponencial de los métodos analíticos aplicados en arqueozoología. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del estudio faunístico realizado en el poblado de la Edad del Bronce Balear o Bronce Naviforme (ca. 1600-850 BC) de Els Closos de Ca’n Gaià (Felanitx, Mallorca), donde se han analizado los restos procedentes de dos estructuras con funcionalidades distintas. El objetivo principal de este estudio…
Zooarchaeology in the Interconnected Mediterranean
Animals in Roman economy
From Anatolia to Algarve
The introduction and spread of the Neolithic “way of life” in Europe was a process that took several millennia, followed by different rhythms and displayed singularities in each geographic area. It was therefore a very complex phenomenon that, despite highly significant advances in research in recent decades, is yet to be fully understood. To deepen our understanding of the very early stages of the introduction of herding and agriculture througho…
Rural Settlement in Iron Age Cessetania (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula)
Recent research has demonstrated the importance of rural settlement in the Iberian culture, although there are still few rural sites explored in depth. ‘Rural settlement’ is the term we use to designate the small habitation sites or agricultural structures that became common from the Middle Iberian Period (450–200 bc) onward; such sites constituted the basis of a hierarchical settlement system characteristic of societies developing towards archai…
Same Language, Different Diet
This study uses faunal and epigraphic evidence from the valley of Cabrera de Mar in present-day Catalonia (Spain) as proxies for understanding complex processes and dynamics of cultural change between the late Iron Age and early Roman times. The faunal remains indicate significant dietary change, although the epigraphic evidence implies that language—in contrast—changed at a slower pace, as shown by the use of indigenous onomastics and the contin…
Cattle and People
This volume originates in a conference session that took place at the 2018 International Council of Archaeozoology conference in Ankara, Turkey, entitled "Humans and Cattle: Interdisciplinary Perspectives to an Ancient Relationship." The aim of the session was to bring together zooarchaeologists and their colleagues from various other research fields working on human cattle interactions over time. The contributions in this volume reflect well the…
Historical management of equine resources in France from the Iron Age to the Modern Period
Donkeys, horses and their mule hybrids have had a far-reaching impact on human history since they have been domesticated several millennia ago. These animals have indeed provided many economic, social and cultural resources that fueled both agricultural and economic development, war making and cultural exchange. Gaining a full understanding of the respective contributions of the different equine species to past societies remains, however, difficu…
Historical management of equine resources in France from the Iron Age to the Modern Period
Alongside horses, donkeys and their first-generation hybrids represent members of the Equidae family known for their social, economic and symbolic importance in protohistoric and historical France. However, their relative importance and their respective roles in different regions and time periods are difficult to assess based on textual, iconographic and archaeological evidence. This is both due to incomplete, partial and scattered historical sou…
New trajectories or accelerating change? Zooarchaeological evidence for Roman transformation of animal husbandry in Northern Italy
Throughout the Western provinces of the Roman Empire, greater economic and political connectivity had a major impact on agricultural production, which grew in scale and specialisation after integration with the Roman state. However, uniquely in Western Europe, farming strategies in Italy began to evolve centuries before the Roman conquest, and many 'Roman' patterns associated with livestock size and the relative proportions of different taxa firs…

Roman dogs from the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb – A glimpse into their morphology and genetics
Reconstruction of Caprine Management and Landscape Use Through Dental Microwear Analysis
This paper presents the results of a pilot study using dental microwear analysis on 23 sheep and goat teeth dated to the 6th century BC from the Iron Age site of El Turó Font de la Canya (Barcelona, Spain). This study aimed to reconstruct livestock management practices and landscape use. The dental microwear pattern indicates that sheep and goats could have been grazing in the same area where vegetation was composed of shrubs, bushes and non-gram…
Romanización y Arqueozoología en el limes del Imperio. El caso de Lusitania entre la Edad del Hierro y el Bajo Imperio (s. VIII a.C.-V d.C.)
This study offers a synthesis of zooarchaeological studies dating from the Iron Age and the Roman period in the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Our objective is to characterize husbandry practices and meat diet in this territory and time frame, and to analyse whether any change occurred after the Roman conquest. The results show a great diversity and continuity in husbandry and meat diet during the time period analysed, as well as a very high…
Animal Husbandry across the Western Roman Empire
This special issue of the European Journal of Archaeology discusses aspects of animal husbandry in a number of provinces of the Western Roman Empire. In this introduction, we describe the general characteristics of animal husbandry in pre-Roman and Roman times to assess any changes that may have occurred after the Roman conquest. The results suggest that the territoriality typifying the first millennium bc had a significant impact on production, …
