DATOS SUPLEMENTARIOS. caracterización de las prácticas ganaderas del yacimiento de Niuet (l’Alqueria d’Asnar, Alicante) en el contexto de los asentamientos del IV al III milenio a.C. en el este de la península ibérica

The archaeozoological analysis of the Niuet site (l’Alqueria d’Asnar, Alicante) has allowed characterising the economic importance of husbandry practices during the Late Neolithic in the middle Serpis valley. The results show the predominance of domestic species over wild ones. Although caprines are the most abundant species, cattle acquire greater economic importance, evidencing a significant change in husbandry strategies concerning the 6th millennium BC in the eastern Iberian Peninsula. The current archaeological record points to greater use of secondary products, possibly influenced by socioeconomic factors and favourable environmental conditions for maintaining and exploiting domestic herds. This work contributes to understanding husbandry management practices in open-air settlements, specifically, during the 4th millennium BC, before metallurgy and the Bell Beaker phenomenon, facilitating understanding of the change processes in the Serpis valley.

对位于西班牙阿利坎特省阿尔克里亚德阿斯纳尔（l’Alqueria d’Asnar）的纽埃特遗址（Niuet site）开展的考古动物学分析，得以阐明塞皮斯河谷中部新石器时代晚期畜牧生产实践的经济价值与地位。研究结果显示，家养动物物种的占比显著高于野生动物。尽管羊亚科家畜（caprines）是数量最丰富的物种，但牛的经济重要性更为突出，这印证了伊比利亚半岛东部公元前6千纪畜牧策略的重大转变。当前的考古记录表明，当时对家畜次级产品的利用程度更高，这可能受到社会经济因素以及维持和开发家畜群所需的有利环境条件的影响。本研究有助于理解露天定居点的畜牧管理实践，尤其是在冶金术与钟杯文化（Bell Beaker phenomenon）出现之前的公元前4千纪，进而助力厘清塞皮斯河谷的社会变迁进程。
