abstract = {diet and animal management. Here we present the description of the fauna found in a dump next to the northern
part of the Roman wall, which also includes some contexts of ritual nature, dated to the 1st century AD until the
beginning of 5th century AD. The osteological remains of animals have shown that most of them come from food
waste and worked bones. We can see that there is a temporal evolution in the use of that space and in the species
used, with smaller animals being preferred in the first phase and cattle being more abundant in the 4th century.
Some improvement indicators were also identified, as would be expected for a provincial capital, such as Emerita
Augusta. Also, ritual burials of numerous dogs as well as a skeleton of the oldest specimen in Iberia of Egyptian
mongoose, camel and an edible dormouse, constitute interesting discoveries in this assemblage, demonstrating
that this is an exceptional sample.},
