| Summary: | The town of Iuvavum (the present-day city of Salzburg in Austria) was one of the few urban centers in the Roman province of Noricum. Faunal remains from layers dating to the first century AD in the northern courtyard of the "Neue Residenz" permit a detailed zooarchaeological investigation of animal husbandry and supply strategies in an increasingly urbanized setting. Similar to the preceding Iron Age, cattle were the regionally predominant species in the Early Roman period. Pigs and sheep/goats played a substantial secondary role in feeding the town. Wild animals only contributed marginally to this endeavor. An increase in cattle of a large morphotype, dogs and horses of body sizes unusual for pre-Roman times, as well as the presence of cats and a non-negligible number of chickens indicate close contacts with the south. This book comprises an overview of the region and site, a description of the methods employed and taphonomic considerations, followed by a species-by-species analysis, as well as a synthesis of the data within a regional framework. |
