Preliminary archaeozoological comparative data concerning the husbandry in Chalcolithic communities of Poduri, Feteşti and Târgu Neamţ (Cucuteni B phase)

  • TITLU în română: Date comparative arheozoologice preliminare referitoare la creşterea animalelor în comunităţile eneolitice de la Poduri, Feteşti şi Târgu Neamţ (faza Cucuteni B)
  • Subiect: Husbandry is the main human activity in order to ensure a steady supply of meat and other secondary products from domestic animals (hides, wool, milk). The domestic mammals, identified in the analysed Cucuteni B sites are: domestic cattle (Bos taurus), sheep / goat (Ovis aries / Capra hircus), pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) and dog (Canis familiaris). In the studied sites of Poduri, Feteşti and Târgu Neamţ there were butchered predominantly specimens from the ovicaprine livestock, aged between 4 and 6 years, and for the domestic cattle between 6 and 8 years, which suggests the exploitation of these animals mainly for the secondary products (wool, milk, hides) and then for meat. In the Cucuteni B phase the female, geld, and the male individuals of domestic cattle have the height of the withers (calculated according to metapods) much smaller and gracile than in the Cucuteni A phase, Precucuteni culture and Gumelniţa culture. The withers size for Ovis aries and Capra hircus, calculated according to the metacarpus, in the tell of Poduri is much larger than the withers size assessed in the Gumelniţa culture. In the tell of Poduri (Cucuteni B) the withers size (calculated according to metapods and astragal) for the species Sus scrofa domesticus is larger than in Precucuteni culture and similar to the withers height assessed in the Cucuteni A phase and Gumelniţa culture. Calculating the basal skull length of Canis familiaris (according to Dahr’s indices) emphasized the presence 3 types of dogs: small (palustris, with the basal skull length of 124.78 mm and 147.40 mm, respectively), medium size (intermedius, with the basal skull length of 157.55 mm) and large, with the range of the basal skull length (for 5 skeletal elements) between 160.45 and 166.25 mm, with an average of 163.17 mm.
