人们早就认识到，新石器时代家畜种类的比例-牛，猪和绵羊/山羊-因地区而异，但迄今为止还不清楚这种变化与文化习俗或环境限制有多大关系。这项研究使用了来自新石器时代欧洲的数百个动物群组合，以揭示动物使用在北部和南部，东部和西部之间的分布。这些令人瞩目的结果为我们呈现了新石器时代动物社会的地理分布--从喜爱兔子的地中海到北部和西部的牛肉食用者。他们还表明，新石器时代早期牧民的选择在很大程度上是由他们的环境决定的。文化联系似乎在新石器时代早期动物社会的物种组成中只起了很小的作用。
It has long been recognised that the proportions of Neolithic domestic animal species—cattle, pig and sheep/goat—vary from region to region, but it has hitherto been unclear how much this variability is related to cultural practices or to environmental constraints. This study uses hundreds of faunal assemblages from across Neolithic Europe to reveal the distribution of animal use between north and south, east and west. The remarkable results present us with a geography of Neolithic animal society—from the rabbit-loving Mediterranean to the beef-eaters of the north and west. They also demonstrate that the choices made by early Neolithic herders were largely determined by their environments. Cultural links appear to have played only a minor role in the species composition of early Neolithic animal societies.
