The few left could not be identified from this point of view. As for artificial marks, 10 bones presented gnawing marks, 10 bones presented cutting marks, and 2 elements seemed boiled. Regarding the meat-quality, equal amount of bones (13.5%) belonged to A and B categories, 29.7% to category C, and 43.3% were teeth. This shows obviously, that horses were primarily kept for their carrying capacity, but not in such a great number, so it might have been the privilege of some social class, maybe depending on status, wealth or position in society.
