Excavations at the early Neolithic settlement of WF16 in Faynan, southern Jordan, 11.84–10.24 ka BP, recovered 17,700 bird bones, of which 7808 could be identified to at least family level. Sixty-three different bird taxa are present from 18 families, representing a mix of resident and migrant birds, based on present-day ecology. We describe the settlement context for the assemblage, its taxonomic composition, spatial and chronological distribution, identifying its similarities and differences to avian assemblages from broadly contemporary sites in the region.

约旦南部新石器时代早期定居点 WF16 的鸟类遗骸：组合组成、年代学和空间分布

11.84-10.24 ka BP 在约旦南部 Faynan 的 WF16 新石器时代早期定居点的发掘中，发现了 17,700 根鸟骨头，其中 7808 根可以确定至少为家庭水平。根据当今的生态学，存在来自 18 个科的 63 个不同的鸟类分类群，代表了常驻鸟类和候鸟的混合体。我们描述了该组合的聚落背景、其分类组成、空间和时间分布，确定了它与该地区广泛当代遗址的鸟类组合的异同。
