摘要: The site of Wadi Zarqa Maʿin 1 (WZM-1), in the Hashemite Kingdom Jordan, was test excavated beneath a large fissure that is frequent roost for barn owls (Tyto alba). located approximately 730 m above mean sea level, and 10 km south-southwest Madaba, Jordan. This limestone sinkhole natural faunal trap roosting multiple species raptor, accumulating significant remains from their prey within its deposits. mammalian taxa Suncus etruscus, Crocidura suaveolens, Spalax leucodon, Cricetulus migratorius, Gerbillus dasyurus, Meriones tristrami, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Acomys cahirinus, Allactaga euphratica, Microtus guentheri, Otonycteris hemprichii, Hemiechinus auritus were identified, with total MNI n = 1,713 maxilla mandible NISP 5,465. Mollusk, bird, reptile, amphibian, scorpion also collected are under analysis. investigated as part larger regional palaeoecological project. WZM-...
