资助信息德国研究基金会（Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft），资助/奖励编号：264557697摘要突尼斯国家遗产研究所和慕尼黑大学的路德维希马克西米利安（LMU）在突尼斯杰尔巴的梅宁克斯古城进行的考古研究产生了10多个，000个动物群标本，揭示了从公元前四世纪到公元七世纪的生存活动。尽管其动物种类繁多，至少有69种哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物、鱼类和软体动物，但家畜是梅宁克斯的经济支柱。在整个网站占领和同期网站相比，在沿海突尼斯和利比亚，羊在Meninx的首要任务。历时性的人口概况说明了对纺织品用羊毛生产的重视。再加上随处可见的破碎的带状染料-murex（Hexaplex trunculus）贝壳，这意味着紫色染料的开发，我们假设这两种活动都被整合到一个单一的chauberne opératoire中，用于制造紫色染色的织物，从迦太基到罗马时代晚期，这些织物在地中海各地进行贸易。动物考古发现还表明，在拜占庭时期，这一主要的经济活动陷入停顿，人们回到了更加自给自足的生存策略。一个站点间的比较进一步表明，高比例的ovicaprines是一个典型的特点，Punic-Roman网站在杰尔巴。但是，即使在罗马在该地区的权力达到顶峰时，岛上仍然存在着本土的畜牧传统，Henchir Bourgou的动物群就是一个例证。
Funding information German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), Grant/Award Number: 264557697 Abstract Archaeological research at the ancient city of Meninx in Jerba, Tunisia, carried out by the Institut National du Patrimoine Tunisie and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) produced more than 10,000 faunal specimens and shed light on subsistence activities spanning from the fourth century BCE until the seventh century CE. Despite its highly diverse fauna totalling at least 69 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and molluscs, domestic livestock formed the mainstay of the economy at Meninx. Throughout site occupation and compared with contemporaneous sites in coastal Tunisia and Libya, sheep were of prime importance at Meninx. Diachronic demographic profiling illustrates an emphasis on the production of wool for making textiles. Together with the ubiquitous presence of crushed banded dye-murex (Hexaplex trunculus) shells implying exploitation of purple dyes, we assume that both activities were integrated into a single chaîne opératoire for making purple-dyed fabrics that were traded across the Mediterranean from Punic until Late Roman times. Zooarchaeological findings also suggest that during the Byzantine Period, this major economic activity came to a standstill, with people returning to more self-sufficient subsistence strategies. An intersite comparison furthermore revealed that high proportions of ovicaprines are a typical feature of Punic–Roman sites in Jerba. But even at the height of Roman power in the region, autochthonous husbandry traditions continued to exist on the island, as illustrated by the fauna from Henchir Bourgou.
