Abstract:
Some 1160 complete and fragmentary identified bones were recovered from the medieval al-Waṭṭa quarter in Safed, providing evidence for a wealthy domestic urban occupation. This paper discusses the mundane aspects of daily life in Safed in the Mamluk period, reconstructing food consumption and distribution, animal husbandry, and social and cultural variation in foodways. This comprehensive study of the zooarchaeological data includes species representation and taphonomic observations, with the aim of discerning patterns of bone consumption and offering explanations for these observations.
