FiG. 9. — A in Early domestication and farming: what should we know or do for a better understanding?

FiG. 9. — A, Evolution of meat production through the chronological phases of Shillourokambos (Cyprus; Vigne et al. 2011b) in comparison with the global climatic fluctuations, as evidenced by the rate of 18O in the GISP2 record (Stuiver et al. 1995); B, Demography of the village, estimated by the number of identified specimens of animal bones (NISP, for an excavated surface of 5000 m²; the dotted line indicates low reliability due to much smaller archaeozoological datasets). Bone weight percentages are not exact estimates of meat procurement. Only the relative variations between the different phases can be taken into consideration in this diagram, which is why ordinates are not graduated. Abbreviation: PPNB, Pre-Pottery Neolithic B.
