摘要: AbstractIn this paper we survey a large body of faunal data for the practice young male culling in Neolithic south-western Asia. Although kill-off model is one most widely used models identifying animal domestication Asia, its ubiquity has never been addressed on regional scale. By focusing combination age and shape distributions biometric data, are able to address emergence amongst sheep goat herders. intensive males presented as ‘leading edge marker’ initiation herding, find that clear evidence appears record only early 8th millennium cal BC — considerably later than origins caprine management. Instead, management practices appear have characterized by high degree ‘initial diversity’, especially 9th ...
