Sažetak
Archaeologists, in most cases, neglect animal bones and teeth, which present comon material on archaeological sites. Analysis of archaeozoological material from Vučedol (Baden culture) and prehistoric cave site Vela spila on Korčula, has been applied to stress the importance of that material (especially single animal teeth) in archaeozoological sampls. It is obvious that a higher percentage of single teeth influence the number of identified animal species on particular sites. One species were identified only by teeth. For the reconstruction of the environment and behavior of ancient people, every evidence obtained from sites is important, and because of that sieving must be part of every excavation.
