Résumé En

During the 2nd century BC, in the settlement of Levroux Les Arènes, livestock rearing was focused on pig, which dominates the faunal assemblage. The structure of the mortality profile and the under-representation of major meatbearing bones suggest that pork was traded locally and perhaps further afield. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of bone collagen from pigs, caprines, cattle and dogs from Levroux has enabled to understand better two key issues: firstly, pigs had probably a herbivorous diet and were kept in the open air at least during parts of the year. Secondly, the sampled pigs were most probably procured from different farms, which means that the village of Levroux was a central place where pork was processed before its redistribution.
