This book addresses the issue of the temporal origins of
transhumant pastoralism in temperate southeastern Europe (northern
half of the Balkan Peninsula). Existing hypotheses are tested by
examining the tooth remains from three domestic animal taxa
(Ovis/Capra, Bos taurus and Sus scrofa) from archaeological sites
in the central part of the northern Balkans.
Subtitled: The Zooarchaeological Remains from Megalo Nisi Galanis,
a Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age Site in Greek Macedonia, this
study also contains contributions by Michael Fotiadis and Elizabeth
Arnold.
Sixteen perspectives from archaeology, history and ethnology bring
together recent research on the origins, development and eventual
demise of transhumant pastoralism. All the papers except one were
presented at a symposium during the 12th International Congress of
Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences at Zagreb, July 1988, and
one of the ultimate aims of the collection is to present a series
of testable models that can be used to help identify the signs of
transhumant pastoral adaptation in the archaeological record, given
the difficulty of establishing its presence and significance in the
study of prehistoric cultural systems. Contributors: Anne-Marie
Brisebarre; Frederick Baker; Laszlo Bartosiewicz; Tone Cevc;
Ekaterini Chalkea; Claudia Chang; Eugen Comsa; Nikos Efstratiou;
Herbert Grassl; Haskel J. Greenfield; Joel Martin Halpern; Marta
Moreno Garcia; John G. Nandris; Michael L. Ryder; Jurij Senegacnik
and Inja Smerdel.
