Gazelle abundance levels off into the PPNA, declines in the EPPNB, and declines further in the MPPNB (difference between NAT&PPNA and E&MPPNB assemblages is highly significant; t = −5.308; df = 3; p = 0.006).

The proportion of both age groups declines back to early Epipaleolithic levels in the EPPNB and remains low through the MPPNB (significant difference between NAT&PPNA and E&MPPNB fawns; t = −1.92; df = 7; p = 0.05; and marginally insignificant difference between NAT&PPNA and E&MPPNB juveniles; t = −1.95; df = 4; p = 0.06).
