Early Animal Management Strategies during the Neolithic of the Konya Plain, Central Anatolia: Integrating Micromorphological and Microfossil Evidence

Abstract: This paper examines the contribution of microscopic multi-proxy approaches to the study of early husbandry practices and animal diet by integrated micromorphological, phytolith, and calcitic dung spherulite analyses of midden deposits at the three neighbouring Neolithic sites of Boncuklu (9th-8th millennium cal BC), Pınarbaşı (7th millennium cal BC) and Çatalhöyük (8th-6th millennium cal BC) in the Konya Plain, Central Turkey. The results reveal considerable chronological and contextual variation in human-anim… Show more

“…This high-resolution spot sampling was conducted for suspected coprolitic materials collected during fieldwork at all three sites (e.g. Matthews 2005a;Shillito et al 2011;García-Suárez et al 2018). In addition, a method of 'microsampling' block sub-samples from thin-section blocks before impregnation enabled direct comparisons between detailed quantitative microfossil contents and micromorphological observations (Matthews et al 2004;Shillito 2011Shillito , 2017García-Suárez et al 2018).…”

Further information was then obtained on the defecator's diet and food regime by the identification of a varied range of faunal and vegetal remains in thin-section and in spot samples.…”
