The uses and limitations of differences in absolute size in the distinction between the bones of aurochs (Bos primigenius) and domestic cattle (Bos taurus)
One of the most obvious differences between domestic and wild cattle is that the domestic cattle are almost all smaller than their wild ancestor, the aurochs. Some aurochs cows have been added to Bohlken&s;s graph of basal length plotted against palatal length for aurochs bulls and modern domestic cattle of both sexes, shows that in spite of some overlap a reduction in size is one of the most obvious effects of domestication.

Farming? Feasting? Herding? Large Mammals from the Chalcolithic of Gilat
Gilat is one of many sites of the Chalcolithic period on the north-western fringes of the Negev Desert which, because they are situated in a relatiyely smali area and are broadly contemporary, proyide a uniąue opportunity to assess inter-site and diachronic yariability on a fine scalę. With nearly 7000 identified animal bones Gilat has yielded one of the largest faunal assemblages so far studied for this period in the Middle East
The fauna of Tell Nebi Mend (Syria) in the Bronze and Iron Age—a diachronic overview. Part 2
The diversity of wild mammals and birds remains excavated from Tell Nebi Mend indicates the presence of wetlands in the vicinity of the Tell, as well as access to woodland, steppe and desert. The Late Bronze Age assemblages revealed differences in hunting and fowling strategies employed by the people using the east and west sides of the Tell, those on the east having a marked preference for large, perhaps prestigious, mammals, aurochsen, wild boa…
The fauna of Tell Nebi Mend (Syria) in the Bronze and Iron Age—a diachronic overview. Part 1
The analysis of the large sample of domestic animal bones excavated from Tell Nebi Mend in north-west Syria shows that there was remarkably little change in patterns of husbandry from the Early Bronze Age to the Iron Age, probably due to the propinquity of the River Orontes. Although the most numerous bones were those of sheep and goats, estimates of body weight suggest that cattle were of greater importance in the economy. Camels were present in…
Exhibiting Animals in Nineteenth-Century Britain. Empathy, Education, Entertainment
In this fascinating and lucid account of exotic animals in nineteenth-century Britain, Helen Cowie shows that they were surprisingly pervasive, to be seen not only in London, but in zoological gardens and travelling menageries all over the country. The two most important static collections of exotic animals of the early nineteenth century were the centuries-old menagerie at the Tower of London and the menagerie on the upper floors of the Exeter C…
The history of the camel bone dating project

Camels, Copper and Donkeys in the Early Iron Age of the Southern Levant
The camel and equid remains from a copper-smelting site — Site 30 at Timna in the southern Arabah excavated by Rothenberg in the 1970s and recently re-dated to the Iron I/Iron II — are analysed in relation to recently published data on the domestication of the dromedary and on the morphology of the various equid taxa present in the Middle East. It is concluded that camels and donkeys were employed in the distribution of copper from Timna and from…
Size Matters – Donkeys and Horses in the Prehistory of the Southernmost Levant
The present article is an attempt to clarify the taxonomy and domestic status of equids in the southernmost Levant during the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age within the wider context of the Middle East and Egypt during the late fifth, fourth and third millennia B. C. Comparisons of the size of equid bones from sites in this area with that of wild asses and domestic donkeys from Predynastic Egypt and the Uruk period in Mesopotamia indicate …

Dental defects of congenital syphilis
Diagnosis of the congenital form of syphilis is an important part of the palaeopathology of this disease. In theory, there are clear clinical signs to be found in the long bones and teeth, but it has rarely been possible to recognise the latter with a confidence in archaeological material, partly because the original descriptions of the dental deformities are sometimes contradictory and partly because it is nowadays difficult to find reference sp…
Egyptian-Canaanite Interaction at Nahal Tillah, Israel (ca. 4500-3000 B. C. E.)
The nature of the Dynasty 0-Dynasty I Egyptian presence in southern Israel has been a source of debate since the excavations of Tel Erani on the fringe of the northern Negev in the 1950s when numerous Egyptian artifacts were discovered. Since then, a wide range of models have been used to characterize the nature of Egyptian-Canaanite relations. These models include warfare/conquest, commercialization, distance parity, and world systems. The recen…

The Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure at Staines, Surrey
The partial excavation under rescue conditions in 1961–63 of the ditches and interior of an enclosure of the earlier neolithic period is described. The enclosure, covering a total area of approximately 2.4 ha, was defined by double concentric interrupted ditches, which were for the most part naturally filled. There were many traces of activity within the interior, presumed to be contemporary with the ditches, including pits, gullies, post- and st…

Far'ah II
The middle palaeolithic open-air site of Far'ah II was discovered and tested by the British Western Negev Expedition during the years 1972–73 (Price Williams 1973; 1975). After the British team concluded its field programme in 1976, the Archaeological Division of Ben Gurion University of the Negev in collaboration with the Institute of Archaeology of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem took over. For three seasons during 1976, 1977, and 1978, the …
A very large camel from the upper pleistocene of the Negev desert
Excavations at Cherhill, North Wiltshire, 1967
A sequence of deposits ranging in date from Late-glacial to the present produced detailed evidence of environmental changes, reflecting both climatic fluctuations and the effects of human activities. A Later Mesolithic occupation horizon, with lithic industry and associated faunal remains, is dated at about 5280 bc. It was sealed by a deposit of tufa. An irregular linear excavation, dated at about 2765 bc, is interpreted as a quarry; the backfill…
