Sarmatian animal bone remains

at Csanádpalota-Országhatár (M43 Nr. 56)

Anikó Tóth

Based on the collection of Sarmatian finds, there have been leafy forests mixed with clearings, meadows and river floodplains (similar to environmental conditions of the Bronze Age] which were suitable for husbandry of larger animals (used for their meat, milk, their strength). They had large number of adult cattle, also younger animals were slain for their meat as well. The

cattle keeping was supplemented by the sheep and goat keeping for their meat, milk and wool. The large number of horses refers to their utilization. Cuts on the bones may indicate kitchen processing. The polished metapods suggest making tools. The increase in animal stock can be attributed to a large number of adult individuals (meat utility). They had medium and large dogs.
