Over the past few decades, however, the veil has been lifted on these states – revealing their weakness, fragility, and instability. In this article, we build on the recently proposed "low-power model" to develop an alternative perspective on state finance that highlights the presumptive character of sovereignty in Mesopotamia. State makers managed to assemble a more-or-less effective vision of sovereign authority by exploiting the inherent ambiguity of certain forms of state capital. Sheep and goats offer a prime example. Drawing on a region-wide compilation of zooarchaeological data, as well as selected material from the cuneiform record, we redirect the archaeological discussion of caprines and the state in Mesopotamia. Caprines were not simply staple goods; they were complicated forms of social, political, economic, religious, and cultural capital, used to finance specific state projects and support specific state claims. In a world of aspirational states and incomplete authority, caprines offered a valuable means of strategic ambiguation, that is, a means of projecting a fuzzy image of broad-based sovereignty that did not yet exist in practice.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Grossman, Kathryn and Paulette, Tate}, year={2020}, month={Dec} }

 @article{price_grossman_paulette_2017, title={Pigs and the pastoral bias: The other animal economy in northern Mesopotamia (3000–2000 BCE)}, volume={48}, ISSN={0278-4165}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/J.JAA.2017.06.001}, DOI={10.1016/j.jaa.2017.06.001}, abstractNote={Discussion of the animal economy in Mesopotamia has been subject to a persistent, pastoral bias. Most general treatments assume that the Early Bronze Age (ca. 3000–2000 BCE) animal economy was dominated by the herding of sheep and goats. An examination of the abundant written evidence would support such a contention. Zooarchaeological evidence from northern Mesopotamia, however, clearly demonstrates that pigs played a major role in the diet, despite their virtual absence in the written record. In this paper, we attempt to lay bare and correct for the pastoral bias by reviewing the relatively meager written evidence for pig husbandry and by examining the zooarchaeological evidence for pigs from two angles. First, we use relative abundance data from sites across northern Mesopotamia to demonstrate the ubiquity of pigs and to identify regional- and site-level patterning in pig consumption. Second, we use a series of proxy techniques to reconstruct pig husbandry practices at three sites: Tell 'Atij, Tell al-Raqa'i, and Tell Leilan. Ultimately, we argue that this "other" animal economy emerged to fill a niche opened up by the twin processes of urbanization and institutional expansion. For households struggling to deal with the impacts of these wide-ranging transformations, pigs offered an alternative means of subsistence and perhaps a way of maintaining some degree of autonomy.}, journal={Journal of Anthropological Archaeology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Price, Max and Grossman, Kathryn and Paulette, Tate}, year={2017}, month={Dec}, pages={46–62} }

 @article{rethinking halaf and ubaid animal economies: hunting and herding at tell zeidan (syria)_2013, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.3406/paleo.2013.5528}, DOI={10.3406/paleo.2013.5528}, abstractNote={This study re-evaluates current models of Halaf and northern Ubaid subsistence strategies in light of new faunal data recovered from Tell Zeidan, a prehistoric settlement at the confluence of the Balikh and Euphrates rivers in Northern Syria. Our data indicates that a major shift in the animal economy at Zeidan took place between the Halaf and Ubaid periods. The Halaf period faunal assemblage from Tell Zeidan includes more than 50% wild game. Faunal data from other Halaf sites show that, while a heavy reliance on wild game was common, Zeidan was the only large, permanent settlement with a faunal assemblage that included more than 50% wild game. During the Ubaid period, the animal economy at Zeidan shifted to focus on the exploitation of domesticated taxa (90% of the assemblage), an intensifi cation probably driven by population increase at the site. This increasing use of domesticates does not, however, appear to have been a regional trend, as many Ubaid settlements continued to exploit high percentages of wild game. This study of faunal remains from Tell Zeidan presents a valuable new corpus of zooarchaeological data from a large, permanent settlement in Northern Mesopotamia and provides useful insights into changing regional patterns of animal exploitation during the Halaf and Ubaid periods.}, journal={Paléorient}, year={2013} }
