This book represents the most comprehensive zooarchaeological study to date of the origins and evolution of the domestication of the pig in the Italian peninsula, from a wide regional scale and a diachronic perspective. Some key archaeological questions addressed concern how and when the process of pig domestication commenced in Italy, how it evolved, and how it compares with the wider European and Middle Eastern scenarios. Through the collection of mainly biometrical data from several Italian prehistoric sites, this book explores changes in pig management through time, from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age. The results are articulated with both historical changes in Italian societies and evidence from other areas, to achieve a comprehensive understanding of domestication."--Publisher's web site. 650 0 $a Swine $z Italy $x History. 650 0 $a Domestication $z Italy $x History. 650 0 $a Animal remains (Archaeology) $z Italy. 651 0 $a Italy $x Antiquities. 830 0 $a BAR international series ; $v 3008. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505011629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCF3DDCA652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
