This presentation covers the faunal material excavated from the Lluga Archaeological Site. Situated in modern day Kosova, the site is part of the Late Neolithic VinĨa Culture, and was excavated by Zhani Gjyshja and her crew in the summer of 2025. This talk offers the first comprehensive discussion of faunal remains from the site, highlighting the prehistoric village's use of domestic fauna as a mainstay of their food economy. It presents discussion of how these data help articulate the site within the broader geographic and cultural landscapes, and discusses how herding impacts the modern inhabitants of the region today.
