Zooarchaeological Evidence for Animal Exploitation at Earlier Neolithic Tsoungiza, Ancient Nemea
2020
Overview
Animal bones from the earlier Neolithic open-air settlement at Tsoungiza, Ancient
Nemea, are dominated by sheep and secondarily by pigs and goats, with cattle
scarce and dogs absent. Slaughter ages suggest management of sheep/goat for meat
more than milk production. Sparse evidence for wild animals is restricted to
foxes and hares. Domesticate carcasses were butchered into large segments,
arguably for sharing between social groups larger than single households. In
scarcity of game, dominance of sheep, emphasis on meat production, and
low-intensity butchering, Tsoungiza resembles other earlier Neolithic sites in
Greece, but preferential slaughter of young adult sheep/goats and selective
anatomical treatment are distinctive features, perhaps related to collective
commensality.
