Abstract:
The study of 604 animal bone fragments from Ulucak Hoyük contributed to the understandingof the frequency of specimens in the assemblage (caprins, bovids, suids, carnivores, hares, cervids,fish and birds), the diachronic exploration of the environment, the skeletal frequencies, the age atdeath and the Minimum Number of Individuals. Focusing in the relative frequencies of the speciesand the subsistence strategy, the preliminary analysis shows more affinities with the western partsof the Aegean than all the eastern parts of Anatolia. That selection could be the result of thegeomorhological data, as Ulucak is situated in a small plain, or just a statistical mistake due to thelimited number of bones examined.
