Archaeological excavations at a Mesopotamian site have provided indirect evidence that several herd animal species were hunted to near-extinction in the Levant between 4000 and 1000 BC.
Scholars have long recognized that many species including hartebeest, Arabian oryx and ostrich disappeared from what is today Syria and Israel during the second millennium BC. Reasons for this disappearance of herd animals has been attributed to a variety of causes, including urban expansion, loss of habitat to sheep farming, and hunting. Investigations by Guy Bar-Oz (Haifa University) and associates at the site of Tell Kuran, Syria, suggest that one major culprit might have been the intensive use of desert kites.
