Romanización y Arqueozoología en el limes del Imperio. El caso de Lusitania entre la Edad del Hierro y el Bajo Imperio (s. VIII a.C.-V d.C.)

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.
