Sažetak
Old Town Barilović is located on a hill above the river Korana, fifteen kilometres southwest from Karlovac, in central Croatia. On the external side of the 15th century yard, layer with a large number of animal bones and other refuse was found, dates from 15th till 18th century. Analysed material contains about 5.850 bones, teeth and horns/antlers of animals of which 2.506 fragments (42.84%) were determined. Majority (96.61%) of skeletonically and taxonimically determined fragments belong to mammals. NISP and MNI among mammal species was the highest for cattle: %NISP value equalled 61.5% and MNI equalled 38. Small ruminants and pigs had lower NISP and MNI values. Sexually mature individuals were predominant with cattle and small ruminants, while with pigs 12 to 18 months old individuals were predominant. Cut marks are visible on numerous bones. Shape of those cut marks indicates that they were made with sharp metal tools and as a result of primary and secondary butchering. Traces of cutting carcasses in half are visible on almost all bovine vertebrae, which were cut medially or paramedially, while the cut marks of various lengths and depths, frequently appear on the caudal edge of the ramus mandibulae, a few centimeters ventrally of processus condylaris.
