Abstract
The Iron Age settlement at Tel Reḥov has yielded a large and well-preserved faunal assemblage. Zooarchaeological analysis of these animal remains from the Iron Age is used to discuss aspects of settlement economy, examining both development through time and similarity with contemporaneous assemblages. The results show that the animal economy at the site was not very different from contemporary valley sites in the Southern Levant, but suggest a certain development of the pastoral economy between the Iron Age I and II. In addition, some insights pertaining to the symbolic use of animals can be gleaned from the faunal remains, specifically in respect to side preferences.
Tel Re的铁器时代定居点ḥov发现了一个保存完好的大型动物群。对这些铁器时代动物遗骸的动物考古分析被用来讨论定居经济的各个方面,考察随时间的发展以及与同期组合的相似性。结果表明,该遗址的动物经济与南黎凡特当代山谷遗址没有太大区别,但表明铁器时代I和II之间的畜牧经济有一定的发展。此外,可以从动物区系遗骸中收集到一些与动物象征性使用有关的见解,特别是在侧面偏好方面。
