In this paper, we deal with the terrestrial and marine resources, and we focus on a key research question, namely what were the animal exploitation and meat procurement strategies at Dhaskalio. This question is central to our understanding of the lifeways of the site, as several lines of material culture and organic evidence suggest that goods and foodstuffs were indeed imported from other Cycladic islands. Furthermore, excavation data thus far provide little evidence for domestic contexts in the settlement. The methodological approach applied with respect to terrestrial mammal, marine fish, and invertebrate remains, provides a thorough insight into animal procurement and management. Significant numbers of domesticates entered the settlement as dressed carcasses and headless. Consumption of terrestrial resources involved meat and marrow, while great quantities of limpets, topshells, other molluscs and numerous fish acquired from the surrounding coasts, complemented the diet. The overall picture suggests a wider island community living from herding, fishing and harvesting supplying the site with abundant and diversified meat resources. Final spatial and stratigraphical synthesis of the faunal data in the future will lead to further understanding of the distribution patterns and character of consumption events.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science-Reports","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 105163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that much of this variation is structured by latitudinal gradients, and that the sensitivity of these gradients increases over time. We argue that the geographic ranges of point types represent the accumulated archaeological signature of cultural technological deposition by human populations adapting to latitudinally structured environmental conditions from the late Pleistocene through the late Holocene. These findings are consistent with Rapoport’s Rule, a widely observed—but still debated—biogeographic pattern in which species’ range sizes tend to increase with latitude. Our results also align with a growing body of research showing that various dimensions of human biological and cultural diversity—such as linguistic richness, economic development, and health disparities—exhibit similar latitudinal gradients at global scales.

The montane ‘climax’ beech-fir forest used as baseline for natural forest conservation is the result of a co-construction between natural and anthropogenic processes.
