Faunal material recovered during the 1968 season at Dinkha Tepe, a Bronze and Iron Age site in NW Iran, is analyzed. The following topics are discussed: 1) the relative proportion of species in the collection and the probable contribution of each to the ancient diet, 2) interpretations of secondary economic uses of animals based on age criteria, 3) frequency of recovered skeletal parts as an indication of butchering procedures, 4) description and interpretation of the most commonly recovered bone tools, 5) osteometry and comparison with fauna from the nearby site of Bastam.
