Animal Husbandry in Ancient Israel

Approaches to Anthropological Archaeology

Series Editor: Thomas E. Levy, University of California, San Diego

Editorial Board:

Guillermo Algaze, University of California, San Diego Geoffrey E. Braswell (University of California, San Diego)

Joyce Marcus, University of Michigan

This series recognizes the fundamental role that anthropology now plays in archaeology and also integrates the strengths of various research paradigms that characterize archaeology on the world scene today. Some of these different approaches include New or Processual archaeology, Post-Processual, evolutionist, cognitive, symbolic, Marxist, and historical archaeologies. Anthropological archaeology accomplishes its goals by taking into account the cultural and, when possible, historical context of the material remains being studied. This involves the development of models concerning the formative role of cognition, symbolism, and ideology in human societies to explain the more material and economic dimensions of human culture that are the natural purview of archaeological data. It also involves an understanding of the cultural ecology of the societies being studied, and of the limitations and opportunities that the environment (both natural and cultural) imposes on the evolution or devolution of human societies. Based on the assumption that cultures never develop in isolation, Anthropological Archaeology takes a regional approach to tackling fundamental issues concerning past cultural evolution anywhere in the world.

Contents

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give (Winston Churchill).

Primary components of this book are based on my MA and PhD dissertations submitted to Tel Aviv University. My sincere thanks to Israel Finkelstein, Zeev Herzog, Tamar Dayan, Avi Perevolotsky, Simon Davis, Liora Kolska-Horwitz, Lazlo Bartosiewicz, Paula and Brian Hesse and Lily Singer-Avitz for their advice. Thank you to the staff of Institute of the Archaeology: Naama Scheftelowitz and Alexandra Shavit (library), Rodica Penchas and Yura Smertenko (illustrations), Pavel (Pasha) Shrago (photography), and Lena Benenson (GIS programming).

The book was written while I was a post-doctorate fellow at the University of California, San Diego. I wish to thank the Anthropology Department faculty and staff for their warm hospitality and especially Tom Levy for inviting me to write the book, for his advice and for generously lending me his office. Thank you to Adolfo Muniz, Yoav Arbel, Jana Fortier, Geoff Braswell, Robert McC. Adams, Exequiel Ezcurra, David Noel Freedman and Tal Golan for their help and fruitful discussions.

Many thanks to Haya Golan-Sasson for generating the sites maps. Special thanks to my precious daughters, Shahar and Gal, for their help in typing in data from many references cited in this book, for their help in designing the book cover and for their never-ending support.

And He said unto me: Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered: O Lord GOD, Thou knowest (Ezekiel 37:3).

The book demonstrates various methodologies to make these bones live. It is aimed at diverse crowds. While it provides an extensive data on animal husbandry in the Southern Levant for the professional zooarchaeologist, it is also aimed at the professional archaeologists and readers that are interested in the archaeology of the Bronze and Iron Age. For this reason, the book includes introductory sections that precede the zooarchaeological discussions. These sections provide to the non-zooarchaeologist brief details on zooarchaeological and taphonomic methods, the GIS methodology, models of animal husbandry and an extensive reference source on these issues.
