class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Scholarship on human-environment interactions tends to fall under two headings: collapse or resilience. While both offer valid explanatory frameworks for human-environment dynamics, both view stress as a net negative that, if unchecked, disrupts systems in equilibrium. Societies either succumb to stress (and collapse) or overcome stress and persist (demonstrate resilience). We re-evaluate the role of stress and advocate for a non-equilibrium approach to the study of past human-environment interactions. We draw inspiration from Nasim Taleb's concept of 'antifragility', which posits a positive role of stress for increasingly complex systems. We apply antifragility as an explanatory framework to pre-Hispanic coastal Peru, where indigenous farmers adapted to the stresses of highly variable El Niño events through a variety of water management systems. Finally, we note that an antifragility approach highlights the beneficial role of stressors, and that avoiding stress altogether makes a system more fragile.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="d704daf2dab77ebf60a16b36c71fa122" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":122033387,"asset_id":128454427,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033387/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="128454427"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="128454427"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 128454427; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=128454427]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=128454427]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 128454427; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='128454427']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "d704daf2dab77ebf60a16b36c71fa122" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=128454427]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":128454427,"title":"Towards an antifragility framework in past human–environment dynamics","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Palgrave Macmillan","grobid_abstract":"Scholarship on human-environment interactions tends to fall under two headings: collapse or resilience.

Excluding failure from the interpretative toolbox obscures the reconstruction of past lives and is tantamount to denying the humanity of past peoples.","owner":{"id":380057,"first_name":"Max","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Price","page_name":"MaxPrice","domain_name":"durham","created_at":"2011-03-28T12:18:37.545-07:00","display_name":"Max Price","url":"https://durham.academia.edu/MaxPrice"},"attachments":[{"id":122033386,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/122033386/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033386/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Ending_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122033386/div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div-libre.pdf?1743071775=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEnding_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf\u0026Expires=1743691770\u0026Signature=bYYQK2rBG93Ngh2nbuWiooteFlk9raQ2m32IUUKPL~wLLbVRYQ0JQECeCnN~~M~9-aed4xEA6XtN0fUDdRiP~2N2HuoyMvBmXM7Bhf2V7eLu7TpH83hFC5YbIis0Y5N0g3rcL4yXEPU37Im7WtQY6ZG-y2-4AO8wvDR37x3ZxYDFsO5mbDTK2ibDzChcOgHwJPqqUzOpHPgDDNe5PzjS4sTN2HJtyyE0GBU7BrXViKA-pHFJVGcoMTdqSJlrwKfzh70DpVpQTpqDjeUJVcyE2uCcfZrvCv9EgcLRfaYMyPihYPWdHlZzgynlDgpQdVRQQe2Irkjera~V8ggBPSAsMg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":122033385,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/122033385/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033385/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Ending_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122033385/div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div-libre.pdf?1743071780=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEnding_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf\u0026Expires=1743691770\u0026Signature=VL7vbriD-CkbgL977D1~7Imfc127qnSE36wBxM0if0mVwy8lSNSikV5IDZBmH~7-3McjelNJ93Bzybu6-UNCr8C1td4bGD6Zcw7S-Rz-5kUbwsVL0lXtAm-H9niQ78Fet2lHfXcbLz4EQsM6OY9qoj~-cP8CQfGNKkpq64yPOAD9kvH91j270Kxwemlr3~M5yhw0cUY6xpwhKqST0BQOjh3kCZoKrDUCOhd4Q7848Kt2P6JdaBmCxcAlnwRp7kTlq~pYXrxXlMospof3qpombSnVM5krkAk3XsHw0IfwhfA4ddsDNsy4r1suLpUZF-EWORB~1gpcQeeePHxcjsKXNg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering"},{"id":60,"name":"Mechanical Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mechanical_Engineering"},{"id":128,"name":"History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/History"},{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":261,"name":"Geography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Geography"},{"id":280,"name":"Cartography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cartography"},{"id":392,"name":"Archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Archaeology"},{"id":534,"name":"Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Law"},{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":4486,"name":"Political Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Science"},{"id":5346,"name":"Archaeological Method \u0026 Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Archaeological_Method_and_Theory"},{"id":7695,"name":"Environmental Ethics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Ethics"},{"id":40683,"name":"Antiquity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Antiquity"},{"id":54534,"name":"Humanity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Humanity"},{"id":2699636,"name":"Toolbox","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Toolbox"}],"urls":[{"id":47308707,"url":"https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/4F29B562B61AAEBFFBB0F186B2782325/S0003598X23001205a.pdf/div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div.pdf"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Projectile weapons, nets, and the domestication of dogs allowed Natufian hunter-gatherers (12,500–9700 BC) to find in wild boar a reliable source of food. By the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (9700–8500 BC), human populations had developed close relationships with local wild boar. Intensive hunting or perhaps game management took place at Hallan Çemi in Anatolia, and the introduction of wild boar to Cyprus by at latest 9400 BC indicates the willingness of humans to capture and transport wild boar. At the same time, the presence of sedentary villages and the waste they produced likely attracted wild boar to human habitats. These early relationships between people and suids—game management and commensalism—evolved over the course of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic into full-fledged animal husbandry that, by around 7500 BC, had selected for domestic pigs.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-118371670-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-118371670-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291068/figure-1-from-paleolithic-wild-boar-to-neolithic-pigs"><img alt="" class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114059210/figure_001.jpg" /></a></figure><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291070/figure-2-map-map-of-middle-east-with-sites-mentioned-in-text"><img alt="MAP 1 Map of Middle East with Sites Mentioned in Text " class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114059210/figure_002.jpg" /></a></figure><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291072/figure-3-from-paleolithic-wild-boar-to-neolithic-pigs"><img alt="" class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114059210/figure_003.jpg" /></a></figure><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291074/figure-2-topographic-map-of-middle-east"><img alt="Figure 2.1.

Thus, by selecting for tameness, humans may have unintention- ally impacted neural crest cell development and thereby created many of the hallmarks of domestic animals. This theory remains to be tested, but if true, it would provide a grand unifying biological theory of animal domestication. On the other hand, it would not explain the cultural changes that also drove domestication.

N = number of specimens identified to genus level; *includes wild animals, dogs, and donkeys. wool, dairy, and cereals (the last of which benefited from cattle traction), which could be traded or used to provision depen- dents (e.g., Arbuckle 2014; Foster 2014; McCorriston 1997; Paulette 2016; Zagarell 1986; Zeder 1991). The demand for textiles and grain, driven by both elite aggrandizing and bur- geoning populations, contributed to an intensification of live- stock husbandry and the reorientation of local economies toward the management of sheep, goat, and cattle for secon- dary products (Stein 1987; Vila 1998; Zeder 1991). 165-174), and is in sharp contrast to Mesopotamian cities and their high proportions (often >30%) of pigs (Price et al. 2017). The reorientation of southern Levantine animal economies towards sheep, goat, and cattle husbandry was part of the larger shift towards the focus on the production of agricultura commodities. For caprines, the major commodities were dairy products and, especially, fiber. Available survivorship (kill- off) data from the EB Southern Levant indicate sheep and goats were managed for meat, milk, and fiber (Grigson 1998; Hesse and Wapnish 2001; Horwitz et Tchernov 1989). In some cases, survivorship data indicate the provisioning of walled towns with meat. For example, the low proportion of caprines younger than one year at EB III Tel Halif (level XV), located in the Northern Negev, suggests the provisioning of that settle- ment with prime-aged animals (Zeder 1990: 29). These survi- vorship data are similar to those detected in the smal assemblage of caprine mandibles from THS Phases I-III. The photo-negative of this pattern can be detected at more periph- eral sites. For example, the absence of prime-aged (1-2 year old) caprines at Tel Yaqush suggests that this component of the population was consumed elsewhere: i.e., a regional center (Hesse and Wapnish 2001: 274). — . ne (fm 1 " class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114014264/table_010.jpg" /></a></figure></div><div class="next-slide-container js-next-button-container"><button aria-label="Next" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-118371663-figures-next"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_forward_ios</span></button></div></div></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3e202ca9f2c8fd7a83b641281ca38662" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":114014264,"asset_id":118371663,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/114014264/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="118371663"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="118371663"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 118371663; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=118371663]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=118371663]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 118371663; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='118371663']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "3e202ca9f2c8fd7a83b641281ca38662" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=118371663]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":118371663,"title":"Domestic animal production and consumption at Tall al-Handaquq South (Jordan) in the Early Bronze III","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"The Early Bronze Age (EBA) in the Southern Levant saw the emergence of socioeconomic inequality, fortified towns, and craft specialization.

Zooarchaeologists typically analyze age-at-death data by constructing survivorship and mortality curves in order to allow insight into a variety of ecological and economic relationships between humans and animals.

However, recent data suggest that this period was defined by agricultural intensification and new forms of livestock management. Data from pigs and wild boar-both referred to in this paper as Sus scrofa-add to the developing picture of dynamic agricultural systems in northern Mesopotamia and southern Anatolia. Survivorship data indicate a diversity of pig slaughter strategies. Meanwhile, increasing rates of linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and the continued reduction in dental size, which follows a different pattern than postcranial metrics, are argued to be evidence of pig husbandry becoming more intensive in the LN. That is, pigs were increasingly penned, foddered, and kept away from wild boar, although wild boars were still used as a stocking resource. These patterns represent a shift from the more extensive "free-range" pig husbandry systems that likely dominated the region in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic. Alongside other forms of agricultural changes, the shifts in pig husbandry in the LN may have been connected to evolving foodways, agricultural expansion, and incipient forms of social complexity in the LN period.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-107691633-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-107691633-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/20144211/figure-1-map-of-northern-mesopotamia-with-sites-used-in-this"><img alt="Figure 1.2.1.

Indeed, the use of pottery in the “commensal politics” of societies around the globe is well estab- lished (Bray 2003; Dietler 2001) and its introduction to northern Mesopotamia had major impacts on the social and political significance of food. Some of the earliest pottery in the region, for example, bears evidence of soot indicating cooking in clay pots (Nieuwenhuyse et al. 2010). New cooking methods, including stewing, boiling, and fermentation, would have been facilitated by pottery, altering what Wen- grow (2010:44—49) has characterized as the roasting/ bread-baking culinary culture of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic.

Because stressors must be survived to be recorded on teeth, LEH is subject to the “osteological paradox” (Wood et al. 1992), whereby the observa- tion of higher rates of pathologies can indicate one of two seemingly contradictory scenarios: (1) a pop- ulation was under more stress, or (2) it was subjected to fewer incidents of lethal stress. In fact, both high- er rates of stress and higher survivorship of stressor are expected to increase in a managed population, eading to a higher incidence of LEH.

While differences in husbandry practices or the inclusion of hunted wild boar in the assemblages might explain these patterns, I suggest that taste or seasonal slaughter schedules likely had the largest impact.

Additionally, under greater pro- tection from predators and the elements, vulnerable pigs were probably better able to survive episodes of stress within their pens. Both the increased vulner- ability to food shortages and the increased ability to survive them explain the rise in LEH.

Employing modern zooarchaeological techniques, not available during the initial analyses, we explore the nature of swine exploitation strategies and demonstrate that pigs were most likely managed by the early 7th millennium (Pottery Neolithic) and perhaps earlier. Comparing biometric data with those from other sites in the region, we show that the Jarmo pigs exhibit evidence for size decrease associated with intensive management, but had not yet achieved the degree of dental or post-cranial size reduction seen in later Neolithic domestic populations. Although samples from the earliest (Pre-Pottery) occupation of the site are small, there is some evidence to suggest that domestic pigs were present at Jarmo as early as the late 8th millennium cal. BC. In either case, Jarmo likely represents the earliest appearance of pig husbandry along the Zagros flanks, and we discuss the mechanisms by which Neolithic technologies, including domesticated animals, spread to new regions. This project emphasises the value of curated faunal assemblages in shedding new light on the spread of Neolithic economies.

While both offer valid explanatory frameworks for human-environment dynamics, both view stress as a net negative that, if unchecked, disrupts systems in equilibrium. Societies either succumb to stress (and collapse) or overcome stress and persist (demonstrate resilience). We re-evaluate the role of stress and advocate for a non-equilibrium approach to the study of past human-environment interactions. We draw inspiration from Nasim Taleb's concept of 'antifragility', which posits a positive role of stress for increasingly complex systems. We apply antifragility as an explanatory framework to pre-Hispanic coastal Peru, where indigenous farmers adapted to the stresses of highly variable El Niño events through a variety of water management systems. Finally, we note that an antifragility approach highlights the beneficial role of stressors, and that avoiding stress altogether makes a system more fragile.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="d704daf2dab77ebf60a16b36c71fa122" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":122033387,"asset_id":128454427,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033387/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="128454427"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="128454427"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 128454427; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=128454427]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=128454427]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 128454427; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='128454427']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "d704daf2dab77ebf60a16b36c71fa122" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=128454427]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":128454427,"title":"Towards an antifragility framework in past human–environment dynamics","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Palgrave Macmillan","grobid_abstract":"Scholarship on human-environment interactions tends to fall under two headings: collapse or resilience.

Excluding failure from the interpretative toolbox obscures the reconstruction of past lives and is tantamount to denying the humanity of past peoples.","owner":{"id":380057,"first_name":"Max","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Price","page_name":"MaxPrice","domain_name":"durham","created_at":"2011-03-28T12:18:37.545-07:00","display_name":"Max Price","url":"https://durham.academia.edu/MaxPrice"},"attachments":[{"id":122033386,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/122033386/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033386/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Ending_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122033386/div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div-libre.pdf?1743071775=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEnding_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf\u0026Expires=1743691770\u0026Signature=bYYQK2rBG93Ngh2nbuWiooteFlk9raQ2m32IUUKPL~wLLbVRYQ0JQECeCnN~~M~9-aed4xEA6XtN0fUDdRiP~2N2HuoyMvBmXM7Bhf2V7eLu7TpH83hFC5YbIis0Y5N0g3rcL4yXEPU37Im7WtQY6ZG-y2-4AO8wvDR37x3ZxYDFsO5mbDTK2ibDzChcOgHwJPqqUzOpHPgDDNe5PzjS4sTN2HJtyyE0GBU7BrXViKA-pHFJVGcoMTdqSJlrwKfzh70DpVpQTpqDjeUJVcyE2uCcfZrvCv9EgcLRfaYMyPihYPWdHlZzgynlDgpQdVRQQe2Irkjera~V8ggBPSAsMg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":122033385,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/122033385/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/122033385/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Ending_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/122033385/div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div-libre.pdf?1743071780=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEnding_the_war_on_error_towards_an_archa.pdf\u0026Expires=1743691770\u0026Signature=VL7vbriD-CkbgL977D1~7Imfc127qnSE36wBxM0if0mVwy8lSNSikV5IDZBmH~7-3McjelNJ93Bzybu6-UNCr8C1td4bGD6Zcw7S-Rz-5kUbwsVL0lXtAm-H9niQ78Fet2lHfXcbLz4EQsM6OY9qoj~-cP8CQfGNKkpq64yPOAD9kvH91j270Kxwemlr3~M5yhw0cUY6xpwhKqST0BQOjh3kCZoKrDUCOhd4Q7848Kt2P6JdaBmCxcAlnwRp7kTlq~pYXrxXlMospof3qpombSnVM5krkAk3XsHw0IfwhfA4ddsDNsy4r1suLpUZF-EWORB~1gpcQeeePHxcjsKXNg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering"},{"id":60,"name":"Mechanical Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mechanical_Engineering"},{"id":128,"name":"History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/History"},{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":261,"name":"Geography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Geography"},{"id":280,"name":"Cartography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cartography"},{"id":392,"name":"Archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Archaeology"},{"id":534,"name":"Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Law"},{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":4486,"name":"Political Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Science"},{"id":5346,"name":"Archaeological Method \u0026 Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Archaeological_Method_and_Theory"},{"id":7695,"name":"Environmental Ethics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Ethics"},{"id":40683,"name":"Antiquity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Antiquity"},{"id":54534,"name":"Humanity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Humanity"},{"id":2699636,"name":"Toolbox","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Toolbox"}],"urls":[{"id":47308707,"url":"https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/4F29B562B61AAEBFFBB0F186B2782325/S0003598X23001205a.pdf/div-class-title-ending-the-war-on-error-towards-an-archaeology-of-failure-div.pdf"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Projectile weapons, nets, and the domestication of dogs allowed Natufian hunter-gatherers (12,500–9700 BC) to find in wild boar a reliable source of food. By the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (9700–8500 BC), human populations had developed close relationships with local wild boar. Intensive hunting or perhaps game management took place at Hallan Çemi in Anatolia, and the introduction of wild boar to Cyprus by at latest 9400 BC indicates the willingness of humans to capture and transport wild boar. At the same time, the presence of sedentary villages and the waste they produced likely attracted wild boar to human habitats. These early relationships between people and suids—game management and commensalism—evolved over the course of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic into full-fledged animal husbandry that, by around 7500 BC, had selected for domestic pigs.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-118371670-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-118371670-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291068/figure-1-from-paleolithic-wild-boar-to-neolithic-pigs"><img alt="" class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114059210/figure_001.jpg" /></a></figure><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291070/figure-2-map-map-of-middle-east-with-sites-mentioned-in-text"><img alt="MAP 1 Map of Middle East with Sites Mentioned in Text " class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114059210/figure_002.jpg" /></a></figure><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291072/figure-3-from-paleolithic-wild-boar-to-neolithic-pigs"><img alt="" class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114059210/figure_003.jpg" /></a></figure><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/22291074/figure-2-topographic-map-of-middle-east"><img alt="Figure 2.1.

Thus, by selecting for tameness, humans may have unintention- ally impacted neural crest cell development and thereby created many of the hallmarks of domestic animals. This theory remains to be tested, but if true, it would provide a grand unifying biological theory of animal domestication. On the other hand, it would not explain the cultural changes that also drove domestication.

N = number of specimens identified to genus level; *includes wild animals, dogs, and donkeys. wool, dairy, and cereals (the last of which benefited from cattle traction), which could be traded or used to provision depen- dents (e.g., Arbuckle 2014; Foster 2014; McCorriston 1997; Paulette 2016; Zagarell 1986; Zeder 1991). The demand for textiles and grain, driven by both elite aggrandizing and bur- geoning populations, contributed to an intensification of live- stock husbandry and the reorientation of local economies toward the management of sheep, goat, and cattle for secon- dary products (Stein 1987; Vila 1998; Zeder 1991). 165-174), and is in sharp contrast to Mesopotamian cities and their high proportions (often >30%) of pigs (Price et al. 2017). The reorientation of southern Levantine animal economies towards sheep, goat, and cattle husbandry was part of the larger shift towards the focus on the production of agricultura commodities. For caprines, the major commodities were dairy products and, especially, fiber. Available survivorship (kill- off) data from the EB Southern Levant indicate sheep and goats were managed for meat, milk, and fiber (Grigson 1998; Hesse and Wapnish 2001; Horwitz et Tchernov 1989). In some cases, survivorship data indicate the provisioning of walled towns with meat. For example, the low proportion of caprines younger than one year at EB III Tel Halif (level XV), located in the Northern Negev, suggests the provisioning of that settle- ment with prime-aged animals (Zeder 1990: 29). These survi- vorship data are similar to those detected in the smal assemblage of caprine mandibles from THS Phases I-III. The photo-negative of this pattern can be detected at more periph- eral sites. For example, the absence of prime-aged (1-2 year old) caprines at Tel Yaqush suggests that this component of the population was consumed elsewhere: i.e., a regional center (Hesse and Wapnish 2001: 274). — . ne (fm 1 " class="figure-slide-image" src="https://figures.academia-assets.com/114014264/table_010.jpg" /></a></figure></div><div class="next-slide-container js-next-button-container"><button aria-label="Next" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-118371663-figures-next"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_forward_ios</span></button></div></div></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3e202ca9f2c8fd7a83b641281ca38662" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":114014264,"asset_id":118371663,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/114014264/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="118371663"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="118371663"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 118371663; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=118371663]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=118371663]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 118371663; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='118371663']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "3e202ca9f2c8fd7a83b641281ca38662" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=118371663]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":118371663,"title":"Domestic animal production and consumption at Tall al-Handaquq South (Jordan) in the Early Bronze III","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"The Early Bronze Age (EBA) in the Southern Levant saw the emergence of socioeconomic inequality, fortified towns, and craft specialization.

Zooarchaeologists typically analyze age-at-death data by constructing survivorship and mortality curves in order to allow insight into a variety of ecological and economic relationships between humans and animals.

However, recent data suggest that this period was defined by agricultural intensification and new forms of livestock management. Data from pigs and wild boar-both referred to in this paper as Sus scrofa-add to the developing picture of dynamic agricultural systems in northern Mesopotamia and southern Anatolia. Survivorship data indicate a diversity of pig slaughter strategies. Meanwhile, increasing rates of linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and the continued reduction in dental size, which follows a different pattern than postcranial metrics, are argued to be evidence of pig husbandry becoming more intensive in the LN. That is, pigs were increasingly penned, foddered, and kept away from wild boar, although wild boars were still used as a stocking resource. These patterns represent a shift from the more extensive "free-range" pig husbandry systems that likely dominated the region in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic. Alongside other forms of agricultural changes, the shifts in pig husbandry in the LN may have been connected to evolving foodways, agricultural expansion, and incipient forms of social complexity in the LN period.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><div class="carousel-container carousel-container--sm" id="profile-work-107691633-figures"><div class="prev-slide-container js-prev-button-container"><button aria-label="Previous" class="carousel-navigation-button js-profile-work-107691633-figures-prev"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 24px" translate="no">arrow_back_ios</span></button></div><div class="slides-container js-slides-container"><figure class="figure-slide-container"><a href="https://www.academia.edu/figures/20144211/figure-1-map-of-northern-mesopotamia-with-sites-used-in-this"><img alt="Figure 1.2.1.

Indeed, the use of pottery in the “commensal politics” of societies around the globe is well estab- lished (Bray 2003; Dietler 2001) and its introduction to northern Mesopotamia had major impacts on the social and political significance of food. Some of the earliest pottery in the region, for example, bears evidence of soot indicating cooking in clay pots (Nieuwenhuyse et al. 2010). New cooking methods, including stewing, boiling, and fermentation, would have been facilitated by pottery, altering what Wen- grow (2010:44—49) has characterized as the roasting/ bread-baking culinary culture of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic.

Because stressors must be survived to be recorded on teeth, LEH is subject to the “osteological paradox” (Wood et al. 1992), whereby the observa- tion of higher rates of pathologies can indicate one of two seemingly contradictory scenarios: (1) a pop- ulation was under more stress, or (2) it was subjected to fewer incidents of lethal stress. In fact, both high- er rates of stress and higher survivorship of stressor are expected to increase in a managed population, eading to a higher incidence of LEH.

While differences in husbandry practices or the inclusion of hunted wild boar in the assemblages might explain these patterns, I suggest that taste or seasonal slaughter schedules likely had the largest impact.

Additionally, under greater pro- tection from predators and the elements, vulnerable pigs were probably better able to survive episodes of stress within their pens. Both the increased vulner- ability to food shortages and the increased ability to survive them explain the rise in LEH.

Employing modern zooarchaeological techniques, not available during the initial analyses, we explore the nature of swine exploitation strategies and demonstrate that pigs were most likely managed by the early 7th millennium (Pottery Neolithic) and perhaps earlier. Comparing biometric data with those from other sites in the region, we show that the Jarmo pigs exhibit evidence for size decrease associated with intensive management, but had not yet achieved the degree of dental or post-cranial size reduction seen in later Neolithic domestic populations. Although samples from the earliest (Pre-Pottery) occupation of the site are small, there is some evidence to suggest that domestic pigs were present at Jarmo as early as the late 8th millennium cal. BC. In either case, Jarmo likely represents the earliest appearance of pig husbandry along the Zagros flanks, and we discuss the mechanisms by which Neolithic technologies, including domesticated animals, spread to new regions. This project emphasises the value of curated faunal assemblages in shedding new light on the spread of Neolithic economies.
