Relative frequencies of OC (<i>Ovis aries/orientalis</i>+<i>Capra hircus/aegagrus</i>), <i>Bos taurus/primigenius</i>, and <i>Sus scrofa</i> in Neolithic assemblages (see Table S2 for data).

<p>Sites labeled and colored after <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845#pone-0099845-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>. X's represent mean values for each region.</p

Changes in mean size through time for <i>Ovis</i>, <i>Capra</i>, <i>Bos</i>, and <i>Sus</i> (based on LSI of breadth and depth measurements)(for data see Tables S3–6).

<p>Vertical lines represent standard deviations. Colors reflect geographic location of site (after <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845#pone-0099845-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>). Values to the left of the vertical axis represent means for each region. Key sites are labeled (after <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845#pone-0099845-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>).</p

Plots showing relationship between body size (mean LSI) and %juvenile (based on long bone fusion) for <i>Ovis</i>, <i>Capra</i>, <i>Bos</i>, and <i>Sus</i> (for data see Tables S3–6).

<p>Colors reflect geographic location of site (after <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845#pone-0099845-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>). “W” indicates assemblages representing wild populations. Key sites are labeled (after <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845#pone-0099845-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>). For <i>Capra</i>, dark blue marks represent Zagros sites Asiab, ZC Shanidar, and Shanidar Mousterian.</p

<p>Arrows indicate potential routes for the spread of domestic animals outside of the Fertile Crescent. Dates indicate an approximation of the first appearance of domesticated sheep/goat (O/C), cattle (<i>Bos</i>), and pigs (<i>Sus</i>) in six regions of Turkey. Dotted lines indicate boundaries where the listed domestic animals were not part of initial Neolithic economies. Southeast Region (purple) = 1. Hasankeyf, 2. Körtik Tepe, 3. Hallan Çemi, 4.
