| Description | Pohansko archaeological site is situated 2 km south of Břeclav. Analysed animal bones were obtained from the Southern Bailey between 1991–1994. The domestic fauna predominate and the game animals are present only sporadically. If it was not possible to determinate the species of animal, the size class was chosen. All parts of animal skeletons occurrred in excavated area. Long bones and their fragments and loose teeth from the lower jaw predominated, fragments of the lower jaw and fingers occurred less frequently. The height at withers of ox (105,9 cm) and pig (71,6 cm) indicates the presence of adult specimens. Study of metacarpal and metatarsal bones of the ox shows on predominance of female specimens. |
