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.
