Ras al-Hadd HD-5 e la pesca nel Neolitico / Ras al-Hadd HD-5 and fishing in the Neolithic

The archeological site of HD-5 is located at Ras al-Hadd on a rocky hill facing the sea. Excavations revealed two main occupation phases, one in the late Neolithic during the fourth millennium and the other at the end of the third millennium BC. In both periods, the subsistence activities focused on the exploitation of coastal resources, while the breeding and hunting of land mammals was less important. Noteworthy is, therefore, the presence in the late Neolithic levels of several domestic dogs, whose remains testify to their use for human consumption.
