Faunal Exploitation at the Ulucak Hoyuk Area:preliminary Report

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The study of 604 animal bone fragments from Ulucak Hoyuk contributed to the understanding of the frequency of specimens in the assemblage (caprins, bovids, suids, carnivores, hares, cervids, fish and birds), the diachronic exploration of the environment, the skeletal frequencies, the age at death and the Minimum Number of Individuals. Focusing in the relative frequencies of the species and the subsistence strategy, he preliminary analysis shows more affinities with the western parts of the Aegean than all the eastern parts of Anatolia. That selection could be the result of the geomorhological data, as Ulucak is situated in a small plain, or just a statistical mistake due to the limited number of bones examined.
