Leporaria urbanos. Problemática y evidencias en el registro arqueológico de Lattara (Hérault, Francia).

This article presents the results of the zooarchaeological analysis of an abundant and well-preserved assemblage of rabbit bones (more than 4100 remains). This assemblage comes from two Roman pits located in the Roman city of Lattara (Hérault, France) abandoned in the 1st century AD. The taphonomical study demonstrates that animals originally complete. The study of the mortality profile suggests the possibility that this could be one of the first case of zooarchaeological evidence for rabbit breeding in Roman Gaul.
