Lachish (Tell ed-Duweir) is located in the southern part of the Judean foothills, known as the Shephelah, and is one of the larger and most extensively excavated multi-period sites in the southern Levant. We present the faunal results of the first three seasons of the most recent excavations, the Austrian-Israeli Expedition to Tel Lachish. The expedition focusses on two areas of the tell encompassing the Middle Bronze Age III through the Iron Age II, area S (deep section) and area P (palace area). The aims for the faunal analysis are threefold: comparing the results between the two areas, seeing how our results compare to previous analyses, and comparing Lachish to other synchronous sites in the Shephelah. We observe differences in subsistence strategies between the areas in addition to diachronic differences. Ovicaprids dominate all assemblages, but we see shifts in the sheep to goat ratio and mortality profiles through time indicating changes in subsistence strategies. Our new results largely agree with the results from previous analyses, showing the value of previous studies and their potential compatibility with newer research. A synchronic comparison of Lachish within the Shephelah shows the occupants of the site were largely self-sufficient but possibly engaged in an exchange of resources in the vicinity.

拉吉什（Tell ed-Duweir）位于朱迪安山麓的南部，被称为谢菲拉（Shephelah），是黎凡特南部最大，挖掘最广泛的多期遗址之一。我们介绍了最近的发掘活动的前三个季节的动物学结果，即奥地利-以色列远征拉古吉（Tel Lachish）。探险队集中在两个区域，包括中古铜器时代III至铁器时代II，区域S（深部）和区域P（宫殿区域）。动物区系分析的目的是三方面的：比较两个区域之间的结果，了解我们的结果与以前的分析结果之间的比较，以及将拉吉什人与谢弗拉的其他同步地点进行比较。除了历时差异，我们还观察到了不同地区之间的生存策略差异。卵形纲占据所有群体，但是随着时间的推移，我们发现绵羊与山羊的比例和死亡率发生了变化，这说明了生存策略的变化。我们的新结果与以前的分析结果基本吻合，显示了先前研究的价值及其与最新研究的潜在兼容性。在谢弗拉（Shephelah）中对拉吉（Lachish）的共时比较显示，该地点的居住者基本上是自给自足的，但可能从事附近的资源交换。
