Özet
Çakırbeyli Küçüktepe Höyük is a mound site in
western Anatolia, located 1.5 km north of
Çakırbeyli village, Koçarlı district of Aydın
province, Türkiye. This paper presents the first
zooarchaeological report of the animal remains
unearthed from the 2014-2016 excavations at
Çakırbeyli-Küçüktepe Höyük. The aim was to
record, identify and find animal-based subsistence
at the site. Faunal assemblages from Early Bronze
Age to Byzantine occupations of the site represents
a total of 875 specimens were examined. The
remains were identified by classifying them
according to their genus and species. At first
observation, representing 8 animal families, a total
of 13 different species of mammals, reptiles and
birds were identified. It appeared that Çakırbeyli-
Küçüktepe people were both hunters and herders
for their common subsistence. Although there were
red deer, horses and cattle, sheep and goats
(Ovicaprid) were found to be the most consumed
species, comprising 89.60% of total identified
specimens. Based on a few equid specimens, it
appeared that horses were used at the site for
transportation. The distribution of skeletal parts
suggests on-site butchering practice. Heavy burn
marks, especially around the edge, on a large
number of bones suggest open fire or direct heat
food processing. Overall, the identified species
illustrate a mosaic of ecology and habitat
exploitation as well as multiple aspects of humananimal
relationships at Çakırbeyli-Küçüktepe
Höyük.
