Food remains from Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age Hama, Syria
Human–Bird Interactions Through Time
Bird remains have often been seen as a niche field in zooarchaeological research overshadowed by the study of mammals despite their considerable cultural, symbolic and economic significance as well as their potential as a proxy for environmental reconstruction. This special issue of The International Journal of Osteoarchaeology includes papers delivered at the 11th International Council for Archaeozoology Bird Working Group which took place on 5t…
Elks on the Loose
This paper presents two Danish examples from the Funnel Beaker Culture illustrating a practice of depositing antique elements – in this case elk bones. While faunal remains are a well-known aspect of complex Neolithic deposition practices, the scope and nuances of these depositional practices remain unclear, partly due to a general lack of 14C dates and detailed zooarchaeological analysis. One key outcome of an increased focus on Accelerator Mass…
All the way from the Baltic
Widening and diversifying trade networks are often cited among the boom and bust of Bronze and Iron Age worlds. The great distances that goods could travel during these periods are exemplified here as the authors describe the spectroscopic identification of Baltic amber beads in an Iron Age cremation grave at Hama in Syria. Yet these beads are not unique in the Near Eastern record; as the authors show, comparable finds and references to amber or …
Down the drain
This contribution examines social practices in the Central Bathhouse in Jerash in Late Antiquity based on the ceramic assemblage, vessel glass, faunal remains, and small finds retrieved from two sections of the bathhouse's sewer. We argue that although the bathhouse underwent significant architectural alterations from its construction in the 4th c. CE to its abandonment in the late 7th, the activities taking place inside the building remained lar…
Tryps-IN
Poor preservation of collagen in dry and/or arid environments has hindered the application of Zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) analysis in many regions of the world. As a result, many zooarchaeological investigations have relied exclusively on morphological assessment of fragmentary remains due to the inadequate preservation of biomolecules. The climatic conditions of Southwest Asia include extreme temperature fluctuations unconducive …
Phenomenon of primary and secondary animals within Iron Age deposits
Animals are an integral part of deposition practices during the Danish Iron Age, and they probably represent the most common form of deposit within southern Scandinavia. Recently Gotfredsen published a volume on animals within Danish Iron Age grave contexts, but similarly comprehensive studies of animals from other contexts have not been attempted. Thus, classic sites such as Valmose, Bukkerup Langmose, and Sorte Muld still stand as the type site…
Perinatal Remains of Livestock
Archaeological evidence for penned animals is increasingly used to indicate managed livestock. Advances in techniques allowing the identification of dung and urine-derived components in sediments have enabled the expansion of this line of enquiry. Corralling animals into settlements protected them from predators at night and provided more control over their breeding. Deposits associated with livestock management at Neolithic settlements across So…
The Formation of Early Neolithic Communities in the Central Zagros
Communal buildings have been reported from a number of early Neolithic sites from the Levant and Anatolia, but none were known from the central Zagros. Here we report on the recent excavations at Asiab, Kermanshah province, Iran, and argue that the principal feature found during Robert Braidwood’s excavation at the site in 1960 should be interpreted as an example of a communal building. We discuss the results of the previous and recent excavation…
Early Neolithic occupation of the lowlands of south-western Iran
Feasting on Wild Boar in the Early Neolithic. Evidence from an 11,400-year-old Placed Deposit at Tappeh Asiab, Central Zagros
The contents of a pit located in the centre of a large communal structure at Asiab in the central Zagros mountains provides rare evidence for ritual food practices during the Early Neolithic (~9660–9300 cal.bc). This pit contained the skulls of at least 19 wild boars carefully placed inside and subsequently sealed. Antler from red deer and the skull of a brown bear were also concealed within the pit. The boars included both male and female animal…
Pan-grave faunal practices - Ritual deposits at five cemeteries in Lower Nubia
Bangsgaard, Pernille (2013): Pan-grave faunal practices - Ritual deposits at five cemeteries in Lower Nubia. Anthropozoologica 48 (2): 287-297, DOI: 10.5252/az2013n2a7, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/az2013n2a7
New excavations at the Barbar Temple, Bahrain
In 2004 excavations at the Barbar Temple dating to c. 2000 BC established that the function of the southeastern subterranean channel connected to the temple pool was to supply the pool with water and not to divert water away from the pool. North and west of the temple the oval terrace wall of its third phase was located. In the centre of the Northeast Temple the remains of a shaft‐stairway leading down to a well‐chamber was uncovered and shown to…
