Dear Suzanne,

Would you mind sharing these references on the list, if that is ok with the authors? (or did i miss a few emails?)
Many thanks,

Kerry

Hi,

I used ethnographic data to calculate meat and milk yields (as well as nutrition values) for sheep, goats and cattle.

Dear Zooarchers,
a colleague of mine asked me to forward her question (see below), does anyone have a reference for this or data?
Thanks in advance,
best Susanne

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
