We report genomic data from new and publishedCapraspecimens from Direkli Cave and, supplemented with historic genomes from multipleCapraspecies, find a novel lineage best represented by a ~14,000 year old 2.59 X genome sequenced from specimen Direkli4. This newly discoveredCapralineage is a sister clade to the Caucasian tur species (Capra cylindricornisandCapra caucasica), both now limited to the Caucasus region. We identify genomic regions introgressed in domestic goats with high affinity to Direkli4, and find that West Eurasian domestic goats in the past, but not those today, appear enriched for Direkli4-specific alleles at a genome-wide level. This forgotten ‘Taurasian tur’ likely survived Late Pleistocene climatic change in a Taurus Mountain refuge and its genomic fate is unknown.}, journal={eLife}, author={Daly, Kevin G and Arbuckle, Benjamin S and Rossi, Conor and Mattiangeli, Valeria and Lawlor, Phoebe A and Mashkour, Marjan and Sauer, Eberhard and Lesur, Joséphine and Atici, Levent and Erek, Cevdet Merih and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Oct} }

BC) animal exploitation strategies at Uğurlu Höyük on the Turkish island of Gökçeada in the northeastern Aegean Sea. Toward this end, we first discuss the results of our analysis of the zooarchaeological assemblages from Uğurlu Höyük and then consider the data within a wider regional explanatory framework using a diachronic approach, comparing them with those from western and northwestern Anatolian sites. The first settlers of Gökçeada were farmers who introduced domestic sheep, goats, cattle and pigs to the island as early as 6500 years BC. Our results align well with recently published zooarchaeological data on the westward spread of domestic animals across Turkey and the Neolithization of southeast Europe. Using an island site as a case study, we independently confirm that the dispersal of early farming was a polynucleated and multidirectional phenomenon that did not sweep across the land, replace everything on its way, and deliver the same “Neolithic package” everywhere. Instead, this complex process generated a diversity of human-animal interactions. Thus, studying the dispersal of early farmers from southwest Asia into southeast Europe via Anatolia requires a rigorous methodological approach to develop a fine-resolution picture of the variability seen in human adaptations and dispersals within complex and rapidly changing environmental and cultural settings. For this, the whole spectrum of human-animal interactions must be fully documented for each sub-region of southwest Asia and the circum-Mediterranean.}, number={10}, journal={PLOS ONE}, publisher={Public Library of Science (PLoS)}, author={Atici, Levent and Birch, Suzanne E.

Although the young male kill-off model is one of the most widely used models for identifying animal domestication in Neolithic south-western Asia, its ubiquity has never been addressed on a regional scale. By focusing on a combination of kill-off age and the shape of the distributions of biometric data, we are able to address the emergence and ubiquity of young male culling amongst Neolithic sheep and goat herders. Although the intensive culling of young males has been presented as a ‘leading edge marker’ for the initiation of sheep and goat herding, we find that clear evidence for young male kill-off appears in the faunal record only in the early 8th millennium cal BC — considerably later than the origins of caprine management. Instead, Neolithic caprine management practices appear to have been characterized by a high degree of ‘initial diversity’, especially in the 9th and early 8th millennia, suggesting that early management strategies may have been much more varied than previously realized. However, after c. 7500 cal BC young male kill-off was widely practised across south-western Asia, suggesting this efficient and effective management technology quickly replaced the diversity of local management strategies prevalent earlier.}, journal={Levant}, author={Arbuckle, B.S. and Atici, L.}, year={2013}, pages={219–235} }

Anthropozoologica 44(1): 13-39. ABSTRACT This paper investigates hunter-gatherer behavioral strategies during the Epipaleolithic period in the western Taurus Mountains of Mediterranean Turkey. Seven archaeofaunal assemblages excavated from Karain B and Öküzini caves were analyzed and interpreted with a special emphasis on age structures and their implications for general hunting strategies, site function and use, and seasonality. A detailed analysis of age structures based on dental wear and epiphyseal fusion data combined with other zooarchaeological evidence has revealed that hunter-gatherers in the Western Taurus Mountains intensively hunted wild sheep and goat, mostly targeted prime-age animals, shifted from seasonally restricted site use and hunting to unrestricted multiseasonal site use and hunting pattern, and progressively hunted larger number of juvenile caprines throughout the Epipaleolithic.}, number={1}, author={Atici, L.}, year={2009}, pages={13–39} }
