Animals in LBK society: Identity and gender markers

Abstract

Grâce aux travaux archéologiques entrepris dans le Bassin parisien (France), un volume important de données fauniques de bonne qualité a été obtenu dans les contextes d’habitat et funéraires des premières sociétés néolithiques, à la période de la Céramique Linéaire "LBK" (sixième millénaire avant n.è.). Cela a permis de réaliser des analyses approfondies, en premier lieu une nouvelle interprétation de l'organisation de l'établissement LBK a pu être conduite, qui intègre l'autonomie de subsistance et la réciprocité sociale entre les maisons. Deuxièmement, nous avons analysé les restes fauniques résultant de pratiques cérémonielles dans l'enceinte de Menneville (Aisne), ainsi que ceux contenus dans certaines inhumations situées dans l’habitat. En se fondant sur le modèle de peuplement et sur l'analyse des os animaux dans les sépultures, il est possible d’approcher l'une des dimensions essentielles de la société LBK, à savoir une organisation sociale avec une véritable dualité entre la domestication et la chasse. La société est structurée autour des bovins, des caprinés, des sangliers, des aurochs et des cerfs, tous retrouvés systématiquement dans les maisons, dans l'espace du village et dans les structures funéraires. L'interprétation avancée pour expliquer leur présence dans les domaines profanes et sacrés est leur statut de marqueurs. Ces marqueurs peuvent incarner une identité telle que les clans, en l'occurrence les éleveurs de bovins, les éleveurs de moutons et éventuellement les éleveurs de porcs. Mais ils peuvent être aussi des marqueurs de genre : les hommes associés au sanglier et au porc et éventuellement les femmes associées au cerf. Et enfin il peut exister des marqueurs d'âge, avec un lien entre les moutons et les enfants.

Thanks to archaeological work undertaken in the Paris Basin (France), a large volume of high quality faunal remains data was obtained from settlement and funerary contexts from the first Neolithic societies, the Linear Pottery Culture “LBK” (sixth millennium BC). It allowed us to carry out extensive analyses: first, we were able to develop a novel interpretation of the LBK settlement organisation. It integrates subsistence autonomy and social reciprocity between houses. Second, we analyzed the faunal remains from the ceremonial enclosure at the site of Menneville and graves containing human associated with faunal remains resulting from different practices and depositions. We use both the settlement model and the analysis of the burials to identify one of the essential dimensions of the LBK society, namely a social organization with a true duality between domestication and hunting. Society is structured around bovines, caprines, wild-boar, aurochs and red-deer, found systematically in the houses, in the village space and in the funeral structures. The interpretation that we provide to hypothesize a social framework from these archaeozoological data in both profane and sacred domains is their presence as markers. We think of these markers as indicating the identity of units such as clans, in this case breeders of cattle, sheep breeders, and possibly pig breeders. But also gender markers: males with wild boar and pig, and possibly females with red deer. And finally age markers, with a link between sheep and children.
