Birds have played an important role in various aspects of the religion of the Late Bronze in East Mediterranean (for example, see: Minnuno, 2013; Mutton, 2022:4; Recht, 2011). Much information is gained on the topic based in written sources and iconography whilst very little is known form zooarchaeological finds from excavations due to the rare discovery of actual sacrifices. Even rarer are the finds of birds since the small and fragile bones of birds may not have survived the test of time.
