FOLIA ARCHAF.OLOC.ICA XXXIV. 1983. BUDAPEST LION REMAINS FROM THE LATE NEOLITHIC AND COPPER AGE OF THE CARPATHIAN BASIN István VÖRÖS As a result of archaeozoological research work-carried out in the Hungarian National Museum during the last few years the prehistoric osteological material determined and analyzed or collected for further analysis furnished new data to the chronodynamic and cultural dynamic history of domesticated animalstock of both Hungary and the Carpathian Basin as well as to the knowledge of the changes observed in the composition and chronodvnamics of wild macromammal fauna.

1 During the investigations made on the material yielded by the excavations of Copper Age settlements the number of which is ever increasing we can get more detailed knowledge of the animal bone material of a period highly diversified not only as regards migrations and cultural influences

2 but also as for the appearance of new immigrant domestic animal species to be connected with certain populations (cultures) and /or culture groups of this age.

3 Besides quantitative changes in domesticated animal stock this period was the age of a great faunal change which to our present knowledge was the last one in the subfossil wild faunal history of the Carpathian Basin.
