Sažetak
Some archaeozoological analyses that were made at the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Zagreb from 1996-2005. are presented. The abundance of red deer bones among the osteological material from archaeological sites suggests that the species was an important game animal and that prehistoric people were keen red deer hunters. Even though the red deer was hunted primarily for meat in all periods, their skin was likely used to make clothes and their bones and antlers were used as raw material for the production of agricultural and household tools.
