AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
According to Geddes the faunal remains of the Leucate site suffered little damage when the sea inundated the site. The result is a superb record of Neolithic fauna. Geddes compares the Leucate site record with other Neolithic sites and what is known about Neolithic fauna in general. Leucate represents a mixed economy of hunting, fishing and domestication. Mesolithic-style hunting continued until the end of the early Neolithic, alongside the domestication of sheep and cattle. The site is noted for few remains of wild boars or domesticated pigs. Wild boar were not plentiful in the coastal environment and the domestication of pigs had a late start in the Western Mediterranean Neolithic.
