The most consumed meat was Mutton in the Chalcolithic Period and beef in the Early Bronze Age. The aging from cattle remains from Küllüoba shows that they were not only kept for meat but for their power. The size of the sheep became larger, but the size of the cattle became smaller over time in the settlements. The locations of the settlements were the main reason in the difference of the games. Hunting was clearly much more important in the earlier periods; however it changes in the later periods in Inland Northwestern Anatolia. Most of the hunted animals were wild horse, fallow deer and wild sheep. These animals indicate an open land with not very high grass and woods as well as forests. An earlier study by the Author on Troy shows that shows that size increase in sheep is not necessary to differentiate hair and wool sheep in the Early Bronze Age, but instead, other archaeological evidences provide indication of wool production and use. As it was previously known, wool sheep might have been already introduced to Inland Northwestern Anatolia in the Early Bronze Age and not in the Middle Bronze Age.}, number={7}, publisher={Uğur ALANYURT}
