Datum: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:06:40 +0200 Von: Katleen Deckers <[log in to unmask]> An: [log in to unmask] Hi Susanne, could you please forward my email to the archaeozoology mailing list. I am working on estimating the amount of land used for subsistence in the 3rd millennium BC in NE Syria. I am doing this by looking at the number of people that needed to be fed (data derived from settlement mapping) and assuming seventies nutrition and yield data as given by FAO. For the calculations, I am looking for meat yield data for sheep and goat. I would be grateful if someone could help me with some literature/references or data. Thanks a lot and best regards, Katleen Deckers -- Dr. Katleen Deckers Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie Universität Tübingen Rümelinstrasse 23 72070 Tübingen 00.49.7071.29.78913
