Trois différentes stratégies d'exploitation animale ont coexisté durant la période du PPNB moyen dans le sud du Levant. La première caractérise les sites de la vallée du Jourdain et des régions adjacentes. Elle correspond à un proto-élevage de chèvres (morphologie identique à celle des formes sauvages) qui domine les assemblages fauniques. La seconde stratégie, qui correspond à une chasse à la gazelle ainsi qu 'une fréquence de chèvres sauvages moins élevée que dans la vallée du Jourdain, est localisée dans la partie occidentale de la région méditerranéenne. Comme dans le cas précédent, la morphologie des os de Capra ne se distingue pas de ceux des animaux sauvages. La troisième stratégie s 'observe dans les régions arides des déserts du Sinaï, de Judée et de la partie orientale de la Jordanie. Elle reflète une forte continuité des traditions épipaléolithiques de chasse et de cueillette, comprenant exclusivement des espèces sauvages. L'analyse de la faune néolithique de Yiftah'el (Basse Galilée, Israël) a été entreprise dans le but de tester si les variations des stratégies de subsistance inter-site reflètent une introduction de chèvres domestiques et leur dispersion graduelle ou, au contraire, une domestication autochtone. Les résultats montrent une évolution chronologique graduelle du spectre faunique, des âges d'abattage et de la taille des chèvres, trois facteurs qui, combinés, prouvent la domestication locale de Capra
