The elaboration of the archaeozoology of a household requires knowledge of the time of occupation of a site, management of the space occupied by the remains and paleoeconomic information. In this perspective, we look successively at the space (intra-site) occupied by the global caprin's bones with regard to taphonomic process, and the spatial significance of bone distribution in relation to a scheme of ethnographie butchery. We give attention to the utilization of the paleoeco-nomic results in the spéculative approaches and we indicate their limits in household archaeozoology and their repercussions in a larger domain that of subsistence archaeology.
