Sažetak
Gorjani-Kremenjača is an enclosed Neolithic settlement in the Municipality of Gorjani near Đakovo in Slavonia, Croatia. Small scale excavation documented traces of burned rectangular structures, most likely houses, while geomagnetic survey suggests complex settlement with layout of houses, ditches and palisades. According to pottery assemblage and radiocarbon 14C dates the site belongs to Sopot culture period (5016-4486 cal BP). The samples for radiocarbon dating were extracted from a lower canine of a pig excavated from the layer surrounding the house, a cattle lower molar from the posthole in the house, and a cattle astragalus from the house. Recovered faunal assemblage is fairly large and consists of predominantly mammalian remains. Archaeozoological analysis revealed animal based subsistence economy with cattle and pigs being the most abundant taxa. This study sheds more light on the animal husbandry in Sopot culture in Slavonia, opening some interesting questions, including the complexity of animal husbandry and the impact of these two animal taxa in the Neolithic diet.
