Acknowledgements

We acknowledge, once again, that this data is preliminary and a part of a bigger picture still to be fully published, in the case of the sites of Tel Qedesh and Tel Yaqush. Thus, adjustments to certain aspects, i.e. context descriptions and overall assemblage numbers, are to be expected. We thank the directors and respective teams for not only allowing us access to the zooarchaeological assemblages, but also sharing their own work in other areas, and thus putting ours into a broader context. Thank you all who allowed us to tirelessly work alongside you for several seasons on all three sites. We would like to specifically thank the excavation directors of Tel Qedesh: Dr Uri Davidovitch and Dr. Ido Wachtel. We also thank the Tel Yaqush excavation directors: Dr. Yael Rotem and Dr. Mark Iserlis. Further, we thank Prof. Rafi Greenberg for allowing us to work on the zooarchaeological assemblages from Tel Bet Yerah. And finally, we thank the Laboratory for Mediterranean Archaeozoology (MAR) in Haifa University and Dr. Nimrod Marom for allowing us the use of the space and comparative collection to conduct our research. This research was supported by the Palestine Exploration Fund (Research Grant), the London Arts & Humanities Partnership (LAHP) and the Israeli Science Foundation Grant No 681/19. Tel Bet Yerah zooarchaeological research was also supported by the Israel Science Foundation, Grant No. 681/19.
