Skeletons of ten articulated goats and numerous other caprine remains were found in a destroyed architectural complex in Tel Beth Shemesh, Israel. By examining the demographics of the herd, we gained insights into the local population's economic, cultural, and religious habits. The herd was likely managed for meat, possibly for holiday feasts.
Skeletons of ten articulated goats and additional numerous caprine remains were found in an architectural complex that was destroyed by an earthquake, dating to the 8th century CE in Tel Beth Shemesh, Israel. As this assemblage represents a unique event, of a living herd frozen in time, we studied it in comparison to the general consumed assemblage of caprinae from the rest of the site. Reconstructing the herds' demographics, by examining age and sex profiles, enabled us to gain insights into the economic, cultural, and religious habits of the local human population. Based on this analysis, we suggest that the herd was managed for meat, possibly for holiday feasts.
