“…The most widely held view contends that European cattle derive from cattle domesticated in the Near East and genetic evidence has supported this hypothesis (Troy et al 2001). After its origin in the Near East, agropastoralism rapidly spread to neighbouring areas and was already present in Cyprus around 8200 years BP (Guilaine et al 2000). In mainland Europe, the arrival of farming is thought to have occurred in the floodplains of Thessaly, in the south of the Balkan Peninsula, approximately 7800 years BP (Van Andel & Runnels 1995).…”

Based on archaeological evidence, the spread of agropastoralism across Europe followed two main paths: the Danubian route, along which Neolithic farmers expanded north across the central European plains; and the Mediterranean route, where migration occurred along the coast of the Mediterranean sea. Here we examine 20 cattle breeds from the continent and assess the genetic diversity levels and relationships among the breeds using 19 microsatellite markers. Additionally, we show evidence that concords with two distinct cattle migrations from the Near East, and also demonstrate that Mediterranean cattle breeds may have had more recent input from both the Near East and Africa.

“…It is noteworthy that this practice produces unbroken metapodials, and that, for the same phase, the use of metapodials for the bone industry significantly increased (Le Dosseur & Stordeur, ). 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 (Guilaine et al ., ). This practice appears to develop even more during the following centuries, as attested at Khirokitia and at several other seventh millennium sites (Legrand, ).…”

“…Neither were they found in the fillings of the contemporaneous well 116 at Mylouthkia (Croft, ). Conversely, in one of the most basal stratigraphic units (SU70) of the Early B phase at Shillourokambos, the Pfd appears suddenly and is then dominant (NISP = 89, Pfd = 59 plus an antler fragment, i.e., 66%; Guilaine et al ., : 134–139, table 30, figures 95–96). Consequently, the first occurrence of the Pfd on Cyprus can be dated to ca 8000–7900 cal.…”

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.
