Abstract(s)
Neste artigo estudam-se os restos faunísticos da primeira fase urbana da ocupação fenícia de La Rebanadilla (Málaga), correspondendo à Fase IV, dos finais do séc. IX a.C., provenientes de um conjunto de fossas escavadas no substrato natural. Observou-se claro predomínio de animais domésticos, representados, por ordem decrescente, pelos caprinos (ovelhas e cabras) e boi doméstico. Residualmente identificaram-se outros animais de grande, médio e pequeno porte: porco/javali, auroque, cavalo e coelho. Foram observadas acções antrópicas, tais como marcas de corte e vestígios de fogo bem como outras modificações presentes na superfície dos ossos.
A comparação destes resultados faunísticos com os obtidos em outras estações arqueológicas da mesma época evidencia o domínio dos animais domésticos na economia destas populações, e consequentemente o escasso aproveitamento dos recursos cinegéticos, revelador de comunidades estáveis e complexas, com uma economia de produção especializada.
This article studies the faunal remains of the first urban phase of the Phoenician occupation of La Rebanadilla (Málaga), corresponding to Phase IV, from the end of the 19th century IX BC, coming from a set of pits excavated in the natural substrate. There was a clear predominance of domestic animals, represented, in descending order, by goats (sheep and goats) and domestic cattle. Residually, other large, medium and small animals were identified: pig/boar, aurochs, horse and rabbit. Anthropogenic actions were observed, such as cut marks and traces of fire, as well as other modifications present on the surface of the bones. The comparison of these faunal results with those obtained in other archaeological stations from the same period highlights the dominance of domestic animals in the economy of these populations, and consequently the scarce use of hunting resources, revealing stable and complex communities, with a specialized production economy.
