“…This modified butchery technique is thus probably connected to the development of a new type of tool and is part of the important technological changes that occurred during the Middle phases at Shillourokambos . This practice appears to develop even more during the following centuries, as attested at Khirokitia and at several other seventh millennium sites (Legrand, 2007).…”

The Persian fallow deer (Dama dama mesopotamica) is currently a threatened species. However, it played an important role in many Late Glacial and Early Holocene human societies in the Near and Middle East. This is especially true of the island of Cyprus, where it was introduced at the beginning of the Neolithic and held a predominant place in human subsistence throughout Cypriot prehistory until the Bronze Age. The earliest levels of the extensive Cypriot Pre-Pottery Neolithic B site of Shillourokambos, occupied between 8400 and 7000 cal. BC, provided 3036 identified remains of this deer. It was possible to measure or determine the age-at-death for 1361 and 1444 remains, respectively. Analyses allow for discussions on when the fallow deer was introduced to the island of Cyprus, its origin and how populations were managed. These studies also lead to the reconstruction of acquisition and butchery techniques, as well as culinary practices, and the morphological evolution of males and females throughout time. The Persian fallow deer was introduced to Cyprus later than suids, dogs, cats, goats and cattle, and at nearly the same time as sheep, towards ca 8000 cal. BC. Despite the absence of any skeletal changes, this introduction may reflect an attempt to domesticate the fallow deer on the nearby continental mainland. However, after being introduced to the island, deer appear to have been released into the wild and hunted.

“…These actions usually leave distinctive traces on osseous materials; however, later stages of shaping may remove the traces from earlier phases and also intensive use may affect their preservation. The manufacturing techniques were reconstructed by analyses of all available objects (finished objects and manufacture debris, when available), and compared with different experimental results obtained by other authors (in particular, Newcomer, 1974;Semenov, 1976;Christidou, 1999;Schibler, 2001;Maigrot, 2003;Legrand, 2007).…”

Las materias primas óseas fueron un materia prima de importancia durante el Neolítico Antiguo y Medio de la Cultura Starčevo, en el Sureste de Europa; éstas fueron ampliamente utilizadas para la producción de herramientas cotidianas (punzones, agujas, raspadores, pulidores, cinceles, martillos, etc.), para otros objetos utilitarios (como los mangos), para armas (puntas de proyectil) y para ornamentos (colgantes, cuentas y broches). En el presente artículo se presenta el análisis de las decisiones tecnológicas (la selección de la materia prima y las técnicas de manufactura). La selección de materia prima muestra una predominancia del hueso en la mayor parte de los yacimientos, pero con algunas excepciones, tales como una gran presencia de asta en la region de Iron Gates. Las conchas de moluscos no son numerosas, aunque presents en varios yacimientos. La elección de una u otra materia prima era relativamente estricta, mientras las técnias de manufactura muestran un gran nivel de conocimientotecnológico y familiarización con la materia prima. Además, se observan algunos rasgos crono-culturales específicos, tales como el uso de abrasion únicamente para la producción de punzones sobre metapodio, perforaciones amplias, etc.
