Animal production and Neolithic subsistence economy in the plain of Ararat (Armenia) This contribution presents a preliminary comparative analysis of the archaeozoological data from two Neolithic sites in the plain of Ararat in Armenia : Aratashen and Khatunarkh-Aknashen, occupied during the 6th millennium B. C. The Neolithic period is poorly known in Armenia from the point of view of subsistence modes. The comparison of the results of the studies on the fauna reveals many similarities. The animal economy rested largely on the exploitation of domestic animals, especially sheep and goats, but the mode of exploitation varied from one site to the other. Cattle played a relatively modest role and pigs are rare on the two sites ; we observe a clear increase in the exploitation of cattle in the latest levels of the occupations. The contribution of hunting is limited. The great ungulates are present : red deer, aurochs, wild horses, wild boar, as well as the smaller ones : roe deer, wild Caprinae, gazelles. Fishing was practised very little. The variety of wild taxa indicates an exploitation of the environments near the sites, the Kasakh river, the plain of Ararat and the neighbouring mountains
