| Summary: | Tell Tuneinir, located in the Khabur River valley in northeastern Syria, offers a glimpse into the life of a medieval Islamic town. The commercial center of an Islamic town has been excavated, including a central market, bath, caravansaries, and residential areas. This paper focuses on the faunal remains from these areas, which provide the bases for analyzing commercial interactions between the various parts of the town, distribution of meat from the central market, butchery practices, and the socio-economic status of the town's inhabitants. |
