As you know domesticated animals had to be moved to other areas for grazing (summer and winter) - and wild game would have been seasonally available for hunting.  Would that account for variance in the source of diet?

Interesting how much wild game there is, comparatively. Am I reading it right that “Agamemnon’s subjects” ate as much wild game as domesticates? Would that be a sort of subsistence hunting to make up for the scarcity of sheep, goats, etc. in their available diet?
