APROXIMACIÓN AL ESTUDIO FAUNÍSTICO DEL YACIMIENTO ARQUEOLÓGICO DE ACINIPO, RONDA (MÁLAGA)

Abstract

Two osseous signs coming from archaeological site of Acinipo, Ronda (Málaga) are studied in this paper. The first are belong to the Bronze Age (centuries XVIII-XVI B.C.), the other belong to the end of Late Bronze Age (century VIII B.C.). By means of the dates which have been got, Acinipo is shaped as a mixed economic comunity in the Bronze Age, where the cattle should be the main task for the inhabitants, the forest and the wood of holm-oaks were properly exploited. The forest is going to suffer an important degradation, already VIII century B. C., as consequence of the break up of new land for agriculture.
