The zooarchaeological research of Eneolithic sites in Slovenia

Description

The zooarchaeological research of Eneolithic sites in Slovenia is focussed on the area of Ljubljansko barje (central Slovenia), where faunistic remains from several pile-dwellings has been analized (Resnikov prekop, Maharski prekop, Hočevarica, Črešnja pri Bistri, Stare gmajne, Založnica). Our studies deal with a variety of zooarchaeological methods and approaches, including biometry, mortality curves, butchery patterns and pathological markers in trying to detect inter-site and intra-site differences in the faunistic material. Special emphasis has been given to worked animal remains.
