Putting the Baa Back in Urbanism
I present here a path for thinking differently about the archaeology of urbanization, one that is explicitly rooted in social zooarchaeology. I argue first that studies of early urbanism have failed to take into account the multispecies nature of cities. In order to develop a framework for thinking about the role of animals in urbanization, I draw on the concept of affordances. I argue that explicit engagement with animal affordances offers a mea…
Animal husbandry in the arid southern Levant during the later historical periods
Zooarchaeological research in the arid southern Levant has recently begun to focus on the later historical periods: Hellenistic, Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic. In this article, a substantial new zooarchaeological data set from salvage excavations at the site of Aila (modern Aqaba), conducted by the late S. Thomas Parker in the 1990s and early 2000s, is presented. This assemblage mainly dates to the Nabataean through Islamic periods. The…
The Stratigraphy of Urban Development at Hamoukar During the Early Bronze Age
This article presents the results of excavations in Early Bronze Age levels at the site of Hamoukar in northeastern Syria. During the 2008 and 2010 field seasons, excavations in the lower town at Hamoukar uncovered evidence for three distinct architectural phases dating to the second half of the third millennium B.C. Prior to these excavations, attention had been focused on the final phase of Early Bronze Age occupation in the lower town, when th…
Cities are different animals
Wealth-on-the-hoof and the low-power state
Pigs and the pastoral bias
Rethinking Halaf and Ubaid animal economies
This study re-evaluates current models of Halaf and northern Ubaid subsistence strategies in light of new faunal data recovered from Tell Zeidan, a prehistoric settlement at the confluence of the Balikh and Euphrates rivers in Northern Syria. Our data indicates that a major shift in the animal economy at Zeidan took place between the Halaf and Ubaid periods. The Halaf period faunal assemblage from Tell Zeidan includes more than 50% wild game. Fau…
