“…A partial separation of greylag goose and domestic goose is regarded as possible by some authors through allometries of the post‐cranial skeleton (Oueslati, ). Stable isotope analyses could theoretically help in separating migrating wild geese from the locally raised or imported form, but it was not attempted here.…”

This paper discusses the bird bones from a large animal bone assemblage found in the largest pit located on the territory of the Sanctuary of Jupiter Heliopolitanus in Carnuntum-Mühläcker (Austria). Features of the material suggest that the bones result from ritual meals, perhaps from a single event. The bird bone assemblage is characterised by the dominance of domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus), but the number of (domestic) goose (Anser cf. domesticus) remains is outstanding. Wild species such as the greater white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons) and the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) were represented by smaller numbers of remains. According to the distribution of bones, the birds were slaughtered in the sanctuary. The calculated minimum number of individuals is about 193 fowl. The slaughtering season is proposed to have been in early spring according to the seasonal presence of the greater white-fronted goose and the age at death of the domestic mammals. On the basis of the measurements of sexed tarsometatarsi, two size groups of domestic chicken were identified. Similar results regarding the dimensions of this species could be recognised from a number of civic and cultic Roman localities in Central Europe. The dominance of male over female birds in domestic chicken is notable in our assemblage, and points to an Eastern origin for the feasting habits, especially in the light of the scarcity of pig remains in this context as opposed to urban Carnuntum. Unlike the assemblages unearthed from Mithraea, however, it was mostly beef that was consumed in addition to fowl in the sanctuary of Carnuntum-Mühläcker.

“…The focus is on cattle as this animal has a well‐documented change in morphology during the Roman period (Forest & Rodet‐Belarbi, ; Lepetz & Yvinec, ; MacKinnon, ; Oueslati, ; Duval et al ., ). The possibility that this change might be because of the presence of different (non‐indigenous) cattle in the new territories of the Roman Empire as a result of trade has been suggested by numerous studies (Murphy et al ., ; Schlumbaum et al ., ; Albarella et al ., ; Colominas et al ., ), although this trade has not been directly investigated.…”

Written sources show that livestock were traded during the Roman period. However, there is scarce information available to characterise this trade because of its invisibility in the archaeological record. In our paper, we shed light on this issue by applying both osteometric and genetic analyses on cattle remains from the Roman trading post of Empúries (Catalonia) to determine how livestock contributed to Roman trade and, thus, to the economy of the Empire. Analysis of 26 cattle metacarpals from Empúries has allowed us to document the presence of different cattle morphotypes in this city during its Early Roman occupation. The morphological and genetic differences seen in Empúries cattle can be explained through trade of different cattle varieties, more appropriate for milk production and/or traction than the local stock. Once arrived at the port of Empúries, these imported cattle would have then been distributed to surrounding villas. MANUSCRIT ACCEPTAT3

“…Per altra banda, els sacrificis al voltant dels 24 mesos es poden relacionar amb un consum carni, ja que és en aquests moments quan el pes de l'animal s'estabilitza. En canvi, a partir d'aquesta edat, el manteniment de l'animal és justificable si s'exploten altres produccions que no pas la carn (Oueslati, 2006). Serà a partir dels 3-4 anys, quan començarà a no ser rendible mantenir l'animal viu per a l'explotació de la llana i/o de la llet, ja que és en aquests estadis quan també comencen a declinar la qualitat i quantitat d'aquests productes (es proposa entre els 3 i 6 anys per la llet i entre els 4 i 8 anys per la llana: Payne, 1973, Torrent, 1986.…”

“…En aquest sentit, s'ha de tenir en compte que el creixement ponderal del porc senglar comença cap als sis mesos, guanyant una mitja de 2,9 Kg/mes (Mauget, 1982) i es manté de manera regular fins als dos anys, edat en què el pes de l'animal s'estabilitza. Les dades sobre el creixement ponderal del porc domèstic actual mostren que la maduresa ponderal s'obté cap els 30-36 mesos (Oueslati, 2006). Per tant, animals que superin aquests òptims carnis ens estarien mostrant la seva explotació com a reproductors.…”

L'article pretén analitzar l'evolució de les pràctiques ramaderes a la plana de la Cerdanya durant l'Antiguitat (segles iii ane-iii ne). Tot i l'escassetat de les dades disponibles en aquest sentit, les recents intervencions arqueològiques a jaciments com el Castellot de Bolvir, el Tossal de Baltarga de Bellver de Cerdanya o la ciutat romana de Llívia permetent oferir una primera aproximació a com el poble ceretà gestionava els recursos ramaders i quina importància tingueren aquests dins de la seva societat.
