Aurochs and potential crossbreeding with domestic cattle in Central Europe in the Eneolithic period. A metric analysis of bones from the archaeological site of Kutná Hora?Denemark (Czech Republic)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The site of Kutná Hora-Denemark (3 444 bones identified) shows, contrary to most of the other 17 Early and Middle Eneolithic sites in the Bohemia, a high percentage of hunted animals. Aurochs are widely represented among 918 bovine bones. Besides metrically reliably determined aurochs and domestic cattle there is a high quota of intermediate sized bones, which could belong to: 1) large domestic males, 2) female aurochs or to 3) cross-breeds of both forms or to locally domesticated cattle. Some proposedindications support the third hypothesis. The theoretical aspect of the problem is discussed at first (summary of knowledge concerning body size; variability components; domestication). The subsequent analysis is based mainly on metric evaluation of twelve width measurements on long limb bones and phalanges. This study contributes to the debate concerning the local domestication / crossbreeding of wild and domestic animals in Central Europe.
