Abstract
⺠The study focuses on microvertebrate remains from Iron Age Tel Megiddo, Israel. ⺠This is one of the earliest assemblages from an ancient urban site. ⺠We reveal in situ accumulated remains from a period of intense occupation. ⺠Data show especially low species diversity indicating a densely populated environment. ⺠This finding invokes the metaphor of a 'biological desert' for an early urban site.
