Animals have been used to human advantage for thousands of years. »Animal Husbandry in Ancient Israel » presents an analysis of caprines and cattle husbandry in the Southern Levantine Bronze and Iron Age. The book employs key methodological approaches – comparative analysis, taphonomy, Geographic Information System spatial analysis, and ethnographic studies – to challenge prevalent views on the Southern Levantine ancient economy. »Animal Husbandry in Ancient Israel » argues that the key concern of nomadic, rural and urban populations was survival – the common household maintained a self-sufficient economy – rather than profit, specialization or trade. The book will be of value to all those interested in the dynamic relationship between humans and animals in ancient Israel.
