South Caucasus Zooarchaeology Unveils Ancient Socio-Economic Transformations and Biodiversity Hotspot
The South Caucasus region has a diverse environment and rich biodiversity, making it a key area for studying ancient cultures. During the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods, people in this region shifted to agriculture, animal husbandry, and metalworking. Zooarchaeology, which studies the relationship between humans and animals in the past, provides valuable insights into these cultural changes. By analyzing animal remains, researchers can understand how people in the South Caucasus lived and adapted over time. This research helps us learn more about the socio-economic aspects of Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures in the region.
