Abstract

The bones retrieved from the Early Islamic building at ‘En Marzev were in a good state of preservation. The most abundant animal in the sample is the gazelle, followed by the horse, with a remarkably smaller amount of domesticated animals, such as sheep, goat and cattle. It seems that gazelles formed a main dietary component at this settlement, indicating that hunting played an important role there.
