This study offers a synthesis of zooarchaeological studies dating from the Iron Age and the Roman period in the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Our objective is to characterize husbandry practices and meat diet in this territory and time frame, and to analyse whether any change occurred after the Roman conquest. The results show a great diversity and continuity in husbandry and meat diet during the time period analysed, as well as a very high consumption of red deer.

This paper analyzes the faunal registres of several Roman sites located in Valencian country, among the II century BC to the IV century AD. After doing a review of the main archaeozoological data, we focus the study in the assemblage of animals bones from different contexts; settlements, necropolis, sanctuaries and ritual pits in order to infer husbandry changes, consumption patterns and introduction of foreing species.

The conquest of the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula by the Roman Empire brought about changes to the socio-political and socio-economic organization of the communities settled in this territory. These changes, however, did not take place all at once, but rather happened throughout the 200 years following the conquest. Bearing this in mind, the aim of this article is to characterise the changes that underwent in livestock management practices in the north-eastern area of the Iberian Peninsula as a result of its Roman conquest, analysing the type and timing of these changes, and evaluating how they affected the different animal species that comprised the livestock at the time.The study of faunal remains recovered from 11 sites located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and dated between the fifth century BC and third century AD, and their comparison to the existing archaeozoological data for the area under study, have enabled us to document that the changes in livestock practices did not all arise at the same time and neither did they affect all taxa equally. These results are correlated with the possible roles played by both the local communities and Rome in the achievement and acceptance of these changes.

This paper focuses on the identification of changes in the processing of osse- ous materials in the southeast European Neolithic, beginning with three types of production by manufacture wear technique typical for the region: bipartition by abrasion, segmentation with fibre and perforation by wear technique. The processing of osseous materials is strongly conditioned by their natural anatomic shapes which is why only a restricted range of possible transformation variables, with minimum changes through time, would be expected. However, numerous specialists invoke the cultural value conferred by the community as the preeminent element in the selection of raw material more than the limitations of the raw material form. Therefore, there are some examples in which there was little change in raw materials selec- tion across long periods of time, although there was variation in animal species availability. Consequently, the study of the three types of ‘manufacture-by-wear’ technique becomes more interesting. These techniques are not present in all prehistoric times in this region. Some of these techniques appear on worked osseous materials in Romania and neighbouring areas at the beginning of the Neolithic and disappear just as suddenly (bipartition by abrasion) or appear only sporadically (perforation and segmentation with fibre) by the Early Chalcolithic. Based on experimental reconstructions of the three processing techniques and comparing them with archaeological assemblages, our study aims to register all the relevant variables (technological gestures, time required for each operation, tools used etc.), and evaluate if they represented a real innovation in the way which the osseous materials were processed.

In this report we focus on harriers, small dogs of gracile build widely represented in Roman artwork, yet not previously documented from skull or skeletal material. With them we compare remains of other types of small dogs from Vindolanda and other Roman-era sites. Accurate characterization of small dogs requires differentiation between paedomorphy and juve- nilization in skull ontogeny. We present a new method for quantifying the degree of juveniliza- tion in dog skulls which is based on understanding the differential development of endochondral and dermal centers of ossification. We enumerate functional and pleiotropic effects of skull and dental morphology and development that are characteristic of miniature dogs but rare in dwarf dogs and in large, normally-proportioned dogs. By comparing a wide array of modern dogs and wolves, we determine the degree to which small gracile dogs of the Roman era differ from prim- itive, non-juvenilized forms. We employ ratio analysis of dog skull shape utilizing parameters previously indicated by principal component analysis (PCA) as being of high diagnostic value. Although some small and medium-sized domestic dogs have highly juvenilized skulls, equally small skulls from Vindolanda are no more juvenilized than wolves or Dingoes. While small, gracile dogs existed as early as the late Iron Age, we conclude that juvenilization in dogs arose after the Roman era.

El sitio Ch2D01 es un conjunto de dos montículos y varios microrelieves ubicado en el sudeste uruguayo, cuya ocupación data del Holoceno tardío. En este trabajo se analizan los restos óseos de ñandú (Rhea americana) recuperados en uno de los montículos (excavación IA). En este conjunto zooarqueológico, el ñandú representa únicamente el 0,5% de los restos determi- nados a nivel de especie y género y el 0,1% del total. Los 20 restos identificados representan un NMI=5 y corresponden en todos los casos a elementos de los miembros posteriores (tibiotarso, tarsometatarso y falanges). A pesar de esto, constituye un caso excepcional para la región donde los restos óseos de ñandú están ausentes en la mayoría de los sitios arqueológicos. Esta situación es similar a la descrita en diversos trabajos de sitios ubicados en la Pampa y Patagonia argenti- nas: baja presencia de ñandú y sobrerepresentación de elementos de las extremidades traseras. Los resultados son discutidos teniendo en cuenta la anatomía económica del animal, su densidad mineral ósea y las propuestas realizadas para los yacimientos argentinos. La representatividad anatómica es más coherente con un sitio de consumo de carne, médula y productos no comes- tibles que con un sitio de captura o de consumo de grasa. No se encontró correlación entre los elementos recuperados y la densidad mineral ósea, aunque lo reducido de la muestra no permite descartar del todo problemas de equifinalidad

The fauna of Neolithic Lameiras includes abundant sheep. Many could be secure- ly identified by applying criteria described by the late Joachim Boessneck as well as metrical methods. Sheep bones from Early Neolithic contexts, several dated directly via 14C, pinpoint the arrival here, 5450 cal BC, of this exotic animal three thousand years after its domestication 5000 km to the east. Thus sheep were transported at a rate of 1,6 km per year – considerably faster than suggested by the ‘wave of advance’ theory. It therefore seems probable that part of the journey was undertaken by ship. Most of the mammal remains identified at Lameiras belonged to domes- ticated forms and besides sheep and some goat, they include cattle and pig. Zooarchaeologically there is little difference between Early and Late Neolithic. However the Neolithic spectrum of species contrasts with that from a small assemblage in the underlying Mousterian level as well as other pre-Neolithic assemblages in Portugal. It is possible that in southern Portugal the adop- tion of animal husbandry was sudden. Measurements of the remains of Canis, Bos, Ovis, Capra and Sus compared with an increasingly large corpus of data from the South-Western part of the Iberian Peninsula indicate several occasions when these animals underwent size changes. Bos, Capra and Canis were considerably larger in the Pleistocene – a size difference now documented in other regions. Besides a Pleistocene-Holocene reduction in size, they underwent a further dim- inution associated with their domestication. It is possible that aurochs and wild boar recovered some of their former size after the Neolithic, perhaps due to a relaxation of hunting pressure after the Mesolithic. Domestic sheep, goats and cattle increased in size in more recent times perhaps reflecting Moslem and Christian improvements.

En este artículo se ofrecen, de forma preliminar, los resultados del estudio de la fauna recuperada en las excavaciones de la villa del Pla de l’Horta (Sarrià de Ter, Gironès) llevadas a cabo en los años 2014-15. A partir del numeroso conjunto de restos faunísticos apa- recidos en los trabajos arqueológicos, el objetivo es conocer cuál fue la evolución de la com- posición del ganado y de las estrategias de consumo y aprovechamiento animal desde finales del siglo II d.C. al período visigodo (siglos V-VII d.C.) en esta villa suburbana localizada en el territorium de Gerunda. El estudio muestra una economía ganadera fundamentada principalmente en la explotación del porcino y del bovino entre finales del siglo II y el siglo III d.C., para la obtención de carne, leche y fuerza de trabajo. Estos recursos se complementaban con los caprinos, aves de corral y anima- les de caza. A partir del bajo imperio, la dinámica se va transformando hasta llegar al período visigodo, momento en el que juegan un papel capital tanto bovinos como equinos.

En esta contribución analizamos conjuntos arqueofaunísticos procedentes de de- pósitos inferidos como enterramientos intencionales de objetos (en pozos y como acumulacio- nes). Éstos corresponden a eventos ocurridos en torno a un recinto central del sitio residencial agropastoril Punta de la Peña 9, en Antofagasta de la Sierra, (provincia de Catamarca), Puna meridional argentina, durante el segundo milenio AP (ca. 1516-929 años cal. AP). Realizamos una caracterización de la fauna de vertebrados e invertebrados desde un punto de vista anató- mico, taxonómico y tafonómico. El análisis de estos elementos, las recurrencias y ausencias e indicadores de estacionalidad, sumados a la presencia de otros objetos incluidos en los depósi- tos, su estructuración y cronología relativa a la historia de uso del recinto, son interpretados a la luz de prácticas y relatos tradicionales de los Andes Centro Sur. Esto nos permite postular la ocurrencia de eventos fundacionales y de instancias de propiciación referidas a la estación seca dentro de los ciclos agropastoriles centro-surandinos.
在这篇贡献中,我们分析了来自被推断为故意掩埋物体(在井里和作为堆积物)的化石的考古组合。这些事件对应于阿根廷南部普纳州安托法加斯塔·德拉塞拉(卡塔马卡省)的Punta de la Peña 9农业牧民住宅区中心区域周围发生的事件,发生在第二个千年AP(约1516-929年Cal.AP)。我们从解剖学、分类学和禁忌学的角度对脊椎动物和无脊椎动物的动物群进行了表征。对这些要素的分析、反复出现和缺席以及季节性指标,加上仓库中其他物品的存在、它们的结构和与场地使用历史有关的年表,都是根据安第斯山脉中南部的传统习俗和故事来解释的。这使我们能够假设在中苏兰农牧业周期内发生与旱季有关的基础活动和促进实例。
