摘要: The role of the pig in subsistence system Middle East has a long and, some cases, poorly understood history. It is common domesticated animal earlier archaeological sites throughout East. Sometime first millennium, BC use declined, and subsequently it became prohibited large areas an excellent source protein, but because low mobility high water needs, difficult to move distances. While sites, rarely mentioned texts. In contrast, cattle, sheep, goats extensively documented. human arid semiarid East, was household-based protein resource that not interest central authority. late second or millennium BC, chicken introduced into even more ideal like pig, compete for food labor system. I hypothesize largely replaced efficient produces secondary product, egg, smaller package; hence, family can consume one day two. This made redundant available other systems. however, never disappeared from diet humans
