Pig — sin. scapula (collum scapulae has been cut off). By the measurements was applied the method devised and practiced by Duerst. 3 The osteometrical data are shown in the Table III. Domestic animals Cattle Judging from the distribution of the animal bones according to species, the cattle (39 individuals) was the most important live stock on the settlement (Table L). The cattle stock contained indi3 /. U. Duerst: Vergleichende Untersuchungsmethoden am Skelett bei Säugern. In: E. Abderhalden: Handbuch der biologischen Arbeitsmethoden, Abt.
