Fauna Remains from the Marketplace at Khan et-Tujjar
(Hebrew, Pp. 57*–62*; English summary, p. 276)
Nimrod Marom
Keywords: Lower Galilee, butchery, economy
The salvage excavation near Khan et-Tujjar yielded a small assemblage of animal bones originating in the marketplace that operated at the site from the late Mamluk to the late Ottoman periods. The assemblage is too small to draw conclusions regarding meat consumption at the Khan et-Tujjar marketplace; however, it seems that most of the meat came from cattle and sheep. Several vertebrae exhibit a split along their length, indicating carving by an expert butcher.
