Determining the minimum number of the aenolithic deer individuals by means of limb bones at Vucedol archeological site

At two archeological locations of the Vučedol archeological site about 10 000 animal skeletal parts were discovered, distributed in three Aenolithic layers (Baden, Kostolac, Vučedol). Out of 5 000 years old bone material made up of well preserved bone fragments, 3.79 % of deer skeletal parts were isolated. The minimum number of Aenolithic deer individuals was researched within this percentage by means of limb bones. By method of Klein and Kathryn Cruz-Uribe, 1987., the minimum number of deer individuals were established in each Aenolithic layer. The minimum number of individuals per Aenolithic layer of appearance was determined and on the whole archaeological site, as follows: Baden culturological horizon – five individuals ; Kostolac cultural horizon – four individuals ; Vučedol cultural horizon – thirteen individuals and Vučedol archaeological site - fifteen individuals.
