Description
Summary:This paper presents a study of archaeozoological remains from an early Iron Age (Iron I-IIA) sequence at the "Sea People"/Phoenician site of Tel Dor, on Israel's Carmel coast (Area D2). Detailed taphonomic and archaeozoological documentation provides information on a wide range of issues: subsistence practices of the site's inhabitants, which were based both on domestic animals and on the exploitation of the immediate environment; aspects of Dor's urban matrix in the early Iron Age; the site's long-distance commercial contacts; and dietary habits that broaden our understanding regarding the identity of its population. These are examined in the context of other contemporaneous sites in the region.
