  • TITLU în română: Noi date despre creşterea animalelor şi vânătoare în aşezarea Vinca A3-B1 (Nivelul IIb) de la Miercurea Sibiului "Petriş", judeţul Sibiu
  • Subiect: We do not insist on bio-geographical location of the site, it is included in numerous articles. So far there have been published faunal samples from the level I, corresponding to Starčevo-Criş Culture and level IIa, referring to Vinča A2-3. This study aims to present the faunal remains from the level IIb, equivalent to Vinča A3-B1, in order to ensure continuity in terms of paleoeconomy. The 1,174 bones were collected during 2000-2008 campaigns, they originate only in mammals. In addition to the 892 bones with definite assignment to five domestic and seven wild taxa, 282 fragments were partially determined. 45 ribs may belong to cattle or red deer, 79 are waste from small-sized mammals and 158 bones are from large-sized species, bovines, red deer (Table 1). The bones are quite well preserved, without signs of burning or cutting. Four ends of bones show signs of gnawing, mostly in sub-adults. As is common for Neolithic sites there are few complete bones, no complete skeletons, few bones attributable to the same skeleton. We note a single case of articulated bones. It is a metacarpal articulated with carpals, all of them from B (dwelling) 22. About 30% of bones were collected from four houses and an oven closed to one of them, but most come from the culture layer.
