Abstract

In recent years, the dental microwear analysis technique has been proven as an approach for contributing to animal husbandry research. It has been tested with good results on providing information related to the animal feeding strategies of bygone agri-livestock societies. In this paper, we present the first dental microwear study from the northeast of Tarraconensis province –the administrative region covering the northeastern Iberian Peninsula in Late Antiquity (4th – 8th c. CE) – in order to provide first order information about the different systems that may have been used to nourish sheep flocks. A total of 146 lower sheep (Ovis aries) molars from five archaeological sites were analysed. The results allow us to propose that different livestock practices were conducted, and various natural resources were exploited by the region’s inhabitants during Late Antiquity, with fodder being particularly important as a feeding system to nourish the flock.

皮毛同群的母羊。伊比利亚半岛东北部古代晚期(公元 4 世纪至 8 世纪)的饲养管理系统:牙科微磨损方法
近年来,牙齿显微磨损分析技术已被证明是一种有助于畜牧业研究的方法。在提供与过去农牧业社会的动物饲养策略有关的信息方面,该技术已经取得了良好的效果。在本文中,我们首次介绍了塔拉科尼西省(Tarraconensis)东北部的牙齿微磨损研究,该行政区域覆盖了古代晚期(公元 4-8 世纪)伊比利亚半岛的东北部,目的是提供有关可能用于滋养羊群的不同系统的第一手信息。我们对五个考古遗址中的 146 颗绵羊(Ovis aries)下臼齿进行了分析。根据分析结果,我们认为该地区的居民在古代晚期采用了不同的畜牧方式,并开发了各种自然资源,其中饲料作为羊群的一种喂养方式尤为重要。

期刊介绍: Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences covers the full spectrum of natural scientific methods with an emphasis on the archaeological contexts and the questions being studied. It bridges the gap between archaeologists and natural scientists providing a forum to encourage the continued integration of scientific methodologies in archaeological research. Coverage in the journal includes: archaeology, geology/geophysical prospection, geoarchaeology, geochronology, palaeoanthropology, archaeozoology and archaeobotany, genetics and other biomolecules, material analysis and conservation science. The journal is endorsed by the German Society of Natural Scientific Archaeology and Archaeometry (GNAA), the Hellenic Society for Archaeometry (HSC), the Association of Italian Archaeometrists (AIAr) and the Society of Archaeological Sciences (SAS).
