Description and Table of Contents

Description

A study of the economic patterns of Early Bronze Age and Iron Age groups in northeast Anatolia based on the analysis of faunal assemblages of two sites: Sos Hoyuek and Bueyuektepe Hoyuek. Howell-Meurs looks at the species make-up of the assemblages, their characteristics, the mix of wild and domesticated species, taphonomic and preservational factors, butchery practices, pathological conditions and the nature of husbandry and herding practices in general. The results show consistency between the two sites and comparability with other sites in eastern Anatolia, revealing an essentially sedentary economy during these periods.
