Abstract
This chapter presents a summary of the long-term process of animal domestication in Southwest Asia from big game hunting in the Epipaleolithic to predomestic management in the earliest Neolithic to a Pastoral Revolution in the later Neolithic. Rather than focusing on factors such as resource depression as the cause of the shift from hunting to herding, this chapter instead explores the role of feasting and ritual economy in stimulating the initiation of animal management within early Neolithic communities.
