Аннотация

This article is mainly concentrated on the changes or continuity in patterns of animal exploitation over time. Salat Tepe is 30 km to the west of Batman in the modern town of Yukarı Salat, ca. 90 km to the east of the provincial center of Diyarbakır and ca. 5 km to the north of the Tigris River. The Upper Tigris Region will be flooded by the lake which will be formed by the Ilısu Dam, thus, it is important to study the animal bones assemblages in order to complete missing information before the dam reservoirs would begin to fill with water. Salat Tepe is a multi-period site and only Bronze Age materials were evaluated in this article. This study addresses the question how faunal remains could add to our understanding of the social and economic organization of the region. In this article the faunal data from several archaeological sites were used, situated in Southeast Anatolia Region and Northern Syria. General view of a faunal assemblage in the Bronze Age indicates occurrence of shift in exploitation across the region throughout the periods, especially for the faunal remains from Southeast Anatolia and Northern Syria. Therefore, faunal analysis is essential to the understanding of both local and regional dietary strategies spanning a Bronze Age and contributes to interpretation of human-animal interaction within the period.
