Abstract
Physiological and ecological aspects of pig raising can shed light on the value of pigs in the subsistence economy of the workmen's villages at Deir el-Medina and Amarna. Recycling waste to feed pigs meant that a more efficient use could be made of available food sources, including scraps which would not sustain a larger human, with the option of butchering the animal to recoup the energy resources invested in it.
