摘要: The faunal assemblage from the 9th-8th millennium BP site at Sha'ar Hagolan, Israel, is used to study human interaction with wild suids and cattle in a time period just before appearance of domesticated animals these species Jordan Valley. Our results, based on demographic osteometric data, indicate that full domestication both occurred during 8th millennium. Importantly, was preceded taxa by metric population parameters indicating severe overhunting. possible role overhunting shaping characteristics social infrastructure ownership herds then explored.
