dc.description.abstract | [Abstract] The techniques of agriculture and animal husbandry at Tell Humeida, a Middle Uruk Period (Late Chalcolithic) site on the middle Syrian Euphrates, were studied using stable isotopes of bone collagen of domestic and wild mammals and from cereal and ruderal plant seeds. Two archaeological campaigns in 2009 and 2011 yielded a small collection of bones, most of which were taxonomically indeterminable. The work had to be interrupted due to the political conflict. The faunal study comprised collagen peptide fingerprinting for taxonomic identification, followed by isotopic analysis. Multiple 14C dating were performed to date the infill to around 3600 cal BC. An isotopic analysis of the sparse plant remains suggested that irrigation and manuring were common practices. Sheep and equids predominated in the faunal assemblage. Sheep grazed on manured soils, and their diet could include millet or another C4 plant, of which, however, no carpological remains were found. The diet of equids differed from that of sheep but also that of other wild ungulates (cervids/gazelles). Their isotopic signatures indicated that they grazed in humid areas, near the watercourse. These finds indicated a settlement that was closely linked to the availability of water, which made it possible to grow crops in an almost desert-like area, and the rearing of sheep. | es_ES |

The Institute of Geology of the University of A Coruña (Spain) received support from the Xunta de Galicia through the program “Consolidación y estructuración de unidades de investigación competitivas: Grupos de potencial de crecimiento” (ED431B 2021/17, Xunta de Galicia, Spain) to A.G.d. Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museum of Damascus and the Museum of Deir ez-Zor for their cooperation in the fieldwork. Marta Pérez Rama is credited for her collaboration in the initial lab work; María Lema Grille of the Instrumental Analysis Techniques Unit (SAI, UDC) and Esteban Guitián (RIAIDT-USC) are thanked for the use of the analytical facilities for which they are responsible. Constructive comments from three anonymous reviewers helped to improve the manuscript, for which we are grateful. | es_ES |
