The bone arrowhead and the three bone fragments originatide in the tan loess with yellow grains (1 7). ANIMAL REMAINS OF THE PILISSZÁNTÓ ROCK-SHELTER II The animal bone finds from the 1946 trial excavation were first studied and published by L. Vértes 1 9. The remains are in the Palaeontological Department of the Museum of Natural History. They are registered as originating from the "lower layer" (= lower group of layers: 8—9— 10 layers) and from the "upper layer (= upper group of layers: 5—6—7 layers). Inv. No.: V. 60. 1399—1426. By studying the list of registered bone finds from the layer, the identification of bones in the Paleontological Department and, the results of the investigations made on the original sediments still found on the surface of the bones the separation of bones and consequently of species per layers became possible. During the 1946 trial excavations and the 1952 rescue excavations — the latter were made by D. Jánossy — the Holocene layers (L 2 — 3 — 4) of the Pilisszántó Rock-Shelter II yielded bones from the following species: Domestic animals: Equus caballus (os phalangis I. dext. post.; from a small horse in L 3; Fig. 5.4.); Sus scrofa dom,; Canis familiaris. Wild animals: Lepus europaeus (brown hare), Canis lupus (wolf) Vulpes vulpes (red fox), Felis silvestris (wild cat) Meies meles (badger), Capreolus capreolus (roe deer).
