 note = {This paper is based on an analysis of faunal remains from the Ottoman Empire Period Layers at Kaman-Kalehöyük, a mound site located in Kirşehir province, Turkey.  Anatolia, during the period after the Ottoman conquest in 1453, has usually been regarded as being under Turkish rule and its culture designated as "Islamic," which conceals the cultural variability and complex demography of the region.  In spite of numerous ethnographic accounts of life during the Ottoman Empire Period, details of animal husbandry practices are virtually unknown.  This study attempts to investigate the patterns of animal husbandry practice during the Ottoman Empire Period by examining relative proportions of taxa, kill-off patterns and body sizes of major domesticates, and the frequency and nature of bone modification.  The results are compared to the result of faunal analysis of the Iron Age layers at the site, and also to reports from other contemporary sites in Anatolia.  Aspects of pastoral economy in relation to the site's status and environment as well as the ethnicity of the residents of the site are discussed.},
