Social diversity in LBIIA Amuq: A zooarchaeological study of recently excavated LBIIA contexts in ancient Alalakh
Herd mobility is a key parameter of many agro-pastoral strategies. Sequential variationsof oxygen, carbon and strontium isotope ratios in ruminant teeth are commonly used forcharacterizing herd mobility along altitudinal gradients and across geological areas. Towhat extent is the variation and covariation of isotopic ratios along a tooth...
First results of the botanical and faunal remains analysis from Iron Age contexts at Ulug-depe in Turkmenistan reveal subsistence economies that primarily focused on cultivating and herding, with the presence of common plant and animal species for this period such as wheat, barley, sheep, goat and cattle. However, a large diversity of wild...
The exploitation of montane ecosystems by agro-pastoral communities has played an important role in the development of thesesocieties in the Caucasus. Mountains can be constraining in winter as snow prevents access to pastures and constrains animal husbandry,but they also provide access to natural resources such as copper ores, obsidian and...

L'exploitation des écosystèmes montagnards par les communautés agro-pastorales a joué un rôle important dans le développement de ces sociétés dans le Caucase. Donnant accès à des matières premières tel que l'obsidienne et des minerais de cuivre nécessaires à la confection d'outils, les montagnes offrent aussi aux éleveurs de nombreux pâturages...
The exploitation of mountain ecosystems by agro-pastoral communities has played an important role in the development of these societies in the Caucasus. Providing access to raw materials such as obsidian and copper ores needed for tools, the mountains also offer herders ample pasture for their flocks. Nevertheless, in winter, these...
The factors and dynamics that initiated the Neolithisation process in the South Caucasus between the very end of the 7th and the beginning of the 6th millennium BCEare still unclear and hotly debated. It is within this framework that the excavations at Kiçik Tepe, in the middle Kura river valley of Western Azerbaijan, aim to offer new data and...
Mountainous territories represent a large part of the region both in the Greater and Lesser Caucasus mountains ranges. Although in the Neolithic period settlements in the highland areas are not numerous in South Caucasus, they increase during the Chalcolithic period until the establishment of villages at the beginning of the Bronze Age. Through...
The EVOSHEEP project focuses on the complex history of early sheep (Ovis aries) husbandry in Southwest Asia between the Late Neolithic and Late Bronze Age using a multi proxy approach (morphometrics, genetics, iconography) to identify the biological and anthropological components behind the emergence and development of early sheep breeds. One...
The EVOSHEEP project combines archaeozoology, geometric morphometrics and genetics to study archaeo- logical sheep assemblages dating from the sixth to the first millennia BC in eastern Africa, the Levant, the Ana- tolian South Caucasus, the Iranian Plateau and Mesopotamia. The project aims to understand changes in the physical appearance and...
