High δ 15 N and δ 13 C Values in Aurochs, Cattle and Sheep Bones from Salt Marshes in the North of The Netherlands
185 pairs of δ 13 C and δ 15 N values for aurochs, cattle and sheep bones from the northern Netherlands were studied to establish the influence of salt marsh grazing on bone δ 13 C and δ 15 N values. The observed values proved significantly increased compared to livestock that grazed inland. The δ 13 C and δ 15 N values of animals grazing former salt marshes were significantly less increased than those grazing the unembanked salt marsh. Absent re…
Animal husbandry in Classical and Hellenistic Thessaly (Central Greece): A zooarchaeological perspective from Almiros
Scholars have been arguing about the nature and scale of Greco-Roman economy in mainland Greece for over fifty years. In this study we investigate the faunal assemblages of Magoula Plataniotiki and New Halos, two neighbouring Classical and Hellenistic towns in Almiros (Thessaly, Greece) to scrutinize how the animal economy functioned in central Greece between fourth and third century BCE, using traditional zooarchaeology. The results indicate an …
Animals and People in the Netherlands’ Past: >50 Years of Archaeozoology in the Netherlands
More than fifty years ago, Anneke T. Clason published the first English-language archaeozoological study on Dutch faunal assemblages. Inspired by the anniversary of this landmark publication, this paper presents a status overview of Dutch archaeozoology organized in twelve themes (e.g. rituals, Mesolithic-Neolithic transition, medieval period). Our aim is to provide a guide to archaeozoological questions pertaining to the Netherlands and open a w…
Een gehoorkapsel van een grijze walvis (Eschrichtius robustus) uit Wijster (Dr.)
A bulla tympanica of a grey whale (Eschrichtius robustus) from Wijster (Dr.). The animal remains from the native Roman-period village at Wijster (province of Drenthe) were published by Dr Anneke T. Clason in 1967. Most of the remains are poorly preserved cattle and horse bone fragments. About half of them come from animal graves in farmyards or along village roads, which most probably are ritual deposits. At the beginning of 2018, Ernst Taayke fo…
Late Mesolithic hunting of a small female aurochs in the valley of the River Tjonger (the Netherlands) in the light of Mesolithic aurochs hunting in NW Europe
A Late Mesolithic kill site of aurochs at Jardinga, Netherlands
A site beside the river Tjonger near Jardinga in the northern Netherlands is shown to be a rare Late Mesolithic kill and primary butchering site. Finds consist mainly of bones from aurochs and red deer, with a few flint artefacts. Radiocarbon evidence shows that there must have been two phases of use: the first around 5400 cal BC; the second, main phase around 5250-5050 cal BC
The Significance of Animals to the Early Medieval Frisians in the Northern Coastal Area of the Netherlands: Archaeozoological, Iconographic, Historical and Literary Evidence
A taxonomy of animals as used by the early medieval inhabitants of the northern coastal area of the Netherlands, the so-called terpen region, is formulated on the basis of archaeozoological data from settlement sites and cemeteries, iconographic evidence in the form of 'animal' brooches, and historical and literary evidence. The archaeological and historical evidence sheds light on the economic roles of animals, the former on their symbolic roles…
Transhumance in Hellenistic Thessaly
The relatively mild winters in the Almirós-Soúrpi Plain, due to the vicinity of the Pagasitic Gulf, implied excellent conditions for the winter pasturing of the flocks of the (semi-)nomadic Sarakatsanéi and Vláchi and of the villages and the Turkish manors in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Present-day specialized pastoralists still graze their flocks in the stubble fields and the foothills surrounding the plain.The Óthris mountain range,…

Evidence of hawking (falconry) from bird and mammal bones
This paper deals with the archaeozoological and archaeological evidence for hawking, or falconry. The methods and history of hawking in Europe are described, after which five types of evidence for hawking are discussed. These are illustrated with material from the Slavonic stronghold of Oldenburg in Ostholstein, in the north of Germany, dated to AD 750–1150. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Birds from four coastal sites in The Netherlands
El trabajo valora las avifaunas recuperadas en cuatro yacimientos costeros holandeses que abarcan un lapso temporal entre el siglo I y el XVII. Varias especies que nidificaban en el país en época romana han dejado de hacerlo. Se constatan, cuando menos desde principios de la Edad Media, la existencia de cimbeles, redes para chorlitos y redes fijas de captura de aves
