Highland pastoralism in the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes cultural tradition: Stable oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotope analyses of herd mobility at Köhne Shahar in northwestern Iran
“…These results are comparable with contemporaneous faunal material recovered from nearby Areni-1 cave, where zooarchaeological investigation revealed a predominance of goats over sheep (Samei et al . 2019, 2020). Figure 4.Faunal assemblage: A) taxonomic composition; B) anatomical representation of capraovids; C) examples of identifiable bones; D) example ZooMS spectra identified as sheep ( Ovis ) and goat ( Capra ) (figure by authors).…”

“…2014; Sagona 2018). Recently intensified research in this region has shed light on the subsistence and economic strategies of Chalcolithic pastoral farming communities who specialised in domestic sheep, goat and cattle herding (Berthon et al 2013, 2021; Samei 2019; Chataigner et al . 2020; Samei et al 2020; Palumbi et al .…”
Excavations at Yeghegis-1, a rockshelter in southern Armenia, reveal long-term human habitation from the late fifth to mid-fourth millennia BC. Here, the authors present a preliminary overview of the materials recovered from the site and highlight the potential of ongoing research to shed light on Chalcolithic human lifeways in the region.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
