J. Chaoud. The animal economy of the Iron Age cities in the Northern Levant

The animal economy of the Iron Age cities in the Northern Levant. J. Chaoud (Université Lumière Lyon II; Archéorient CNRS) - The economy of Levantine societies in the first Millennium BCE was based on animal husbandry and the use of animal secondary products. This talk illustrates animal management through the study of new assemblages of animal bones from Lebanon and Syria. We will discuss the changes in management techniques between coastal/hinterland, and small/large centres of the Northern Levant.
