Faunal Remains from the Residential Quarter Northwest of Tel Lod
(Hebrew, pp. 51*–53*; English summary, p. 177)

Keywords: zooarchaeology, consumption waste, mollusks
The zooarchaeological finds from Lod were retrieved predominately from Stratum II, dated to the Early Islamic period. The bones belong to domestic animals, most of which were identified as sheep/goat and cattle. The pig bones might point to a tolerance on behalf of the Islamic rulership toward the local Christian population, which seems to have been affluent.
