About 68% of the identifiable specimens belong to domestic animals. Cattle are by far the most frequent species, followed by sheep/goat and pig. Data on age distribution and sex ratio suggest the exploitation of milk in cattle. Morphologically, the cattle represent large sized animals which were typical in Central Europe during the period of the Linear Pottery Culture. Species of game are quite numerous counting for 32% of the identifiable mammal remains. Beside the frequent species wild boar and red deer, other species like roe deer, elk, aurochs, wild horse, lynx, fox, badger, pine marten and beaver could be identified.
