The site of Tatıka, located on the southern bank of the Tigris River next to Koçtepe Village of Şırnak province and is one of the excavations conducted within the scope of Salvage Project of the Ilısu Dam and HEP Project. According to wheel made fine vessels the site was dated to 3100-2700 BC. The present study includes animal bones recovered during three (2013-15-16) excavation campaigns. A total number of 1542 bones were collected from EBA I-II area. The bone assemblages dominated by domestic animals: sheep, goat, pig and cattle. Wild taxa found in low numbers. Scope of this study, epiphyseal fusion stage was applied for main domesticated species.When the epiphyseal data compared in regional, it is understood subsistence strategies were similar in Southeast and Eastern Anatolia. During Early Bronze Age the frequency of pigs was declined because of environmental aridity, however the high meat providers, are the secondly most found animal in Tatıka assemblages. The Tell Beydar’s measurement were used in the comparison of the logarithmic size index. The result of LSI analysis show that while the size of sheep and goat were larger in Tell Beydar, pigs were smaller size. Cattle from both sites produced similar values.
