"Excavations at Late Neolithic Toumba Kremastis Koiladas, near the modern town of
Kozani in north-western Greece, have yielded one of the largest faunal assemblages
of this period from Greece (and probably also from Europe). This assemblage is important
not only because of its large size, but also because of the character of the site
and the apparently distinctive nature of bone deposition. Although near to a settlement
mound or tell, the excavated area from which the assemblage is drawn appears to be
of the 'flat/extended' type of site. As such, much of the bone assemblage is derived
from clearly defined pits and ditches cut into the bedrock, offering much greater
opportunities for contextual analysis than is usually possible on tell sites with
complex vertical stratigraphy. Furthermore, the excavator's observation of complete
animal skeletons in some pits suggested the possibility of structured deposition of
a sort that, though well known from the Aegean Bronze Age, is as yet rare in the Neolithic
of Greece. The assemblage studied here thus offers unusually high potential for investigation
of patterns of bone deposition and animal consumption and also for exploration of
the extent to which these processes may have obscured or distorted the evidence commonly
used to infer patterns of animal management and land use. The questions addressed
in this book are centred within four main contexts: Types of Neolithic settlements
(tells vs. 'flat/extended' sites); The Neolithic household in Greece; Neolithic husbandry
regimes in Greece; Scales and contexts of consumption during the Greek Neolithic"
