Comparison of the AH caprine early stages of survivorship in months based on fusion data for assemblages from uppermost Level 4 (MNE = 207) and mid-upper Level 4 (n = 90) to (A) Epipaleolithic sheep-dominated caprine assemblages from Öküzini 3–5 (n = 354, n = 120, n = 124, respectively); and (B) to later PPN caprine assemblages from Level 2 of AH (n = 2,806) and Suberde (n = 95). Unborn individuals from AH are excluded from the comparisons. Sources of comparison data can be found in refs. 16, 33, and 34.
