Description

Explore the complex history of livestock exploitation through this specialized zooarchaeological study. Published by Routledge, this book examines caprines and cattle husbandry within the Southern Levantine Bronze and Iron Age. By looking at how animals were managed, the text provides a new look at the ancient economy of the region. The research uses specific methodological approaches, including taphonomy, comparative analysis, ethnographic studies, and Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis. These methods are used to challenge existing views regarding the Southern Levantine economy and how different populations interacted with their environment. This work focuses on the practical realities of nomadic, rural, and urban populations. It argues that survival was the primary driver for these groups, with the common household working toward self-sufficiency. This book is an essential resource for those studying anthropological archaeology and the history of ancient civilizations.
