Summary Feasting is a common part of human culture in the present and past that can serve a variety of roles such as creating and maintaining social identities within and between social groups. In zooarchaeology, feasting evidence, rather than the accumulated and mixed refuse from long-term consumption, often gives us some of the only data from individual events at a site. A cattle bone refuse pit at the site of Marj Rabba, Israel, provides evidence for feasting from the early Chalcolithic (c.4500–3600 BC) in the southern Levant. The presence of cattle feasts at Marj Rabba provides a glimpse of cultural practices in this critical transitional period that may mirror practices from earlier periods.

在加利利的早期石器时代遗址Marj Rabba盛宴

总结盛宴是当今和过去人类文化的一个常见组成部分，可以起到多种作用，例如在社会群体内部和社会群体之间建立和维护社会身份。在动物考古学中，盛宴的证据，而不是长期消费的累积和混合垃圾，常常为我们提供了现场单个事件的一些唯一数据。以色列Marj Rabba遗址上的一个牛骨垃圾坑为黎凡特南部的早期石器时代（约公元前4500-3600年）的盛宴提供了证据。在这个重要的过渡时期，Marj Rabba的牛宴的存在使人们对文化习俗有所了解，这可能反映了早期的习俗。
