鸟类是生物多样性的有用指标。它们的骨骼被用于重建西南亚Epipalaeolithic和早期新石器时代遗址的当地环境和人类活动的季节性。我们认为WF 16是约旦南部新石器时代早期的一个定居点，目前位于干旱环境中。该定居点拥有精心设计的pisé-built建筑和物质文化。WF 16鸟类组合中的物种表明，当时的环境比今天更加潮湿和树木繁茂，这支持了全新世早期群落以丰富多样的资源为目标的观点。然而，虽然WF 16的物种范围与该地区其他Epipalaeolithic和早期新石器时代遗址的物种范围相当，但组合的多样性非常有限，猛禽占主导地位，特别是秃鹰。我们建议每年的季节性活动的模式，与一个相对较小的居民人口在冬季的几个月里利用供水建设和维护网站的建筑和春/秋季集会的人从整个地区狩猎迁徙猛禽和进行性能和仪式的解决。
Birds are useful indicators of biodiversity. Their bones have been used for reconstructing the local environments and seasonality of human activity at Epipalaeolithic and early Neolithic sites in south‐west Asia. We consider the bird bones from WF16, an early Neolithic settlement in southern Jordan, currently located in an arid environment. The settlement has elaborate pisé‐built architecture and material culture. The species represented in the WF16 avian assemblage suggest the environment was considerably wetter and more wooded than today, supporting the idea that early Holocene communities targeted locations with abundant and diverse resources. However, while the range of species at WF16 is equivalent to that found at other Epipalaeolithic and early Neolithic sites in the region, the diversity of the assemblage is strikingly limited, with a heavy dominance of raptors, notably buzzards. We suggest an annual pattern of seasonally based activities, with a relatively small resident population drawing on supplies of water during the winter months for constructing and maintaining site architecture and spring/autumn gatherings of people from across the region to hunt migratory raptors and undertake performance and ceremony at the settlement.
