| Özet |
| This study focuses on examining caprine herding strategies during Early and Middle Bronzeperiods, throughout the analysis of the faunal materials that belong to Anatolian and upperMesopotamian sites. The main argument of this paper is assessing the role of bothenvironmental factors and socio-economic strategies in the development of caprine herdingpatterns. The zooarchaeological research methods which were applied on several faunalassemblages assisted us in evaluating the frequency of herded species in each settlement, thedistribution of age groups and the variation of animal’s size. While conducting a comparativestudy among several archaeological sites situated in two distinctive geographical regions, willgive us the chance to illustrate if environmental or socio-economic factors lead to theadaptation of certain herding patterns. Consequently we will able to shed new light on thedevelopments of early urban societies. |
