Introduction
The samples of faunal remains analysed in this study are taken from the
Chalcolithic sites of Hoiseşti (Iaşi County, Romania) and Feteşti (Suceava County,
Romania). The settlement of Cucuteni Culture, phase A, from Hoiseşti is situated at
47˚12′5″ northern latitude and 27˚19′55″ eastern longitude, in a meander on the left side
of the Bahlui River, corresponding of the bridge that provides the entrance in the Hoiseşti
village (Dumeşti Commune, Iaşi County) (Ursulescu et al., 2004; 2005). The settlement
Feteşti-La Schit is situated in the East of Suceava County, 15 Km North-East from the
Suceava City on the Dradomirna Plateau (sub-unit of the Suceava Plateau), at right of the
Grigoreşti River, affluent of Siret (Boghian et al., 2005b). Geographical coordinates of the
archaeological site are: 47˚42′41″ northern latitude and 26˚22′6″ eastern longitude.
Material and Methods
The material under study comes from the Cucuteni A cultural level, of two
archaeological sites, namely Hoiseşti (Iaşi County) and Feteşti (Suceava County). In the
first case (Hoiseşti), material was found during the 2003-2004 excavations (Ursulescu et
al., 2004, 2005) and the Feteşti remains were excavated during 2000-2004 (Boghian et al.
2005a). The Hoiseşti faunal remains belong to phase A3 of Cucuteni Culture (Ursulescu et
al., 2004; 2005) and were dated of between the years 3500-3300 B.C./4350-4150 CAL.
B.C. (Mantu, 1998), and those from Feteşti have been considered to belong to phase A3A4 (Boghian et al. 2005a), and were dated of between 3500-3200 B.C./ 4350-4050 CAL.
B.C. (Mantu, 1998).
The methodology used is the specific to archaeozoology (Udrescu et al., 1999), the
measurements of anatomic elements being performed according to the van den Driesh
guide (1976).

Results and Discussion
From the Hoiseşti sample of 1557 mammal remains specifically determined
(Cavaleriu et al., 2006), 318 remains could be measured, at a percent of 20.42%. From the
Feteşti sample of 103 remains specifically determined (Cavaleriu & Bejenaru, 2007), only
15 remains were measured and the percentage was a reduced one, 14.56%. The excessive
fragmentation of the remains was the impediment in assessing the withers height of the
species identified in the Feteşti samples.

In booth samples, there were identified remains of both domestic and wild
mammals, with the preponderating of the domestic ones (Tables 1; 2). The domestic
remains represent 59% of the total mammal remains identified at Hoiseşti, the percentage
being even greater (77%) for the Feteşti remains. The pig remains are the most numerous,
fallowed by the cattle and the sheep/goat, the last ones being equal in number (Tables 1;
2). Among the wild mammals, the most numerous are those of wild boar, red deer and roe
deer in the Hoiseşti sample (table 1), and in the Feteşti sample the wild boar and the roe
deer (Table 2).
A distribution of the remains on skeletal segments has been observed for all the
mammals species identified, the predominant being those of appendicular skeleton
(Tables 3; 4): 61% of the total Hoiseşti remains of Bos taurus are of appendicular
skeleton; for Sus domesticus the proportion of the two categories of remains is almost
similar, only 56% being of appendicular skeleton; for sheep/goat the proportion is also
greater for appendicular skeleton (65%) and for wild boar 69%. In the case of red deer,
due to the great number of antler fragments identified, the remains of axial skeleton are
- 280 -
greater than those of appendicular skeleton; we must take into account the fact that they
are only fragments and we don’t know how many of then come from hunted wild animals.
Twenty one of these fragments seem to have been worked upon, and four of them belong
to sloughed off antlers and gathered from woods, so if we deduct the antler fragments
from the total of axial skeletal remains, the axial skeletal remains prove to be dominant
(Table 3).

Measurable remains
Domestic mammals
Bos taurus (cattle). In the sample from Hoiseşti 31 bone remains were measured of
which 25 were long and short bones (Table 5), four plate bones (Table 6) and two molars
M3 (Table 7).
There were measured, of the autopod bones, one calcaneus (127 mm greatest
length) and six middling phalanx (their variable greatest length being between 35-53 mm,
and the medium value of 44 mm). A fragment of distal metatarsus of 70 mm distal width
comes from a great animal, probably a great male. This value approximates the minimum
value for this parameter of Bos primigenius and ranges among the limits obtained for this
parameter at Drăguşeni, where the limits are of 49-75 mm, and the medium is 56.7 mm
(Bolomey & El Susi, 2000). The values for the distal width of the tibia are 63.5 mm, 65
mm, and 70 mm, similar to the values found in other phase A settlements, of 60 mm at
Dumeşti (Haimovici, 1989) and 63 mm at Preuteşti-Haltă (Haimovici, 2003). Other pieces
measured were astragals, radius, ulnas and metacarpus (Table 5).
As concerning the flat bones, we have measured four proximal fragments of
scapular, having the maximum length of articular process ranged between 60 mm and 80
mm (Table 6), with an average of 69.5 mm. These values correspond to those obtained on
Preuteşti and Dumeşti samples.
Although few bones were measured, a large variety of body parameters can be
observed; for instance, for the distal end of the metatarsus the values are between 54.5
mm and 70 mm, and for the articular end of scapula the values are between 60 and 80
mm.
For the Feteşti sample five measurements have been made, all for long and short
bones (Table 8). The greatest length of the calcaneus identified in this sample is of 127.5
- 281 -
mm, similar to the one found at Hoiseşti. A great value for the width of distal epiphysis of
metatarsus (68.5 mm) has been registered in the case of this sample, similar to that from
Hoiseşti. For a proximal fragment of metatarsus the width is of 75 mm, this piece being
one coming from a large animal.
No whole long bones have been identified among these samples and that is why no
estimation could be made of the height of cattle withers.
Sus domesticus (pig). 38 bone remains have been measured at Hoiseşti of which 26
were long and short bones (Table 5), 7 plate bones (Table 6) and 5 molars M3 (Table 7).
The variable limits for the distal width of tibia are 25-31 mm and the mean for the four
values is 28.3 mm. These values come inside the variability limits met for another
settlement of phase A, Drăguşeni, where the variability limits for distal width of tibia are
between 26-32.4 mm (Bolomey & El Susi, 2000).
For plate bones, measurements have been made for three coxals and four proximal
fragments of scapula with the limits of the length variable of the glenoid cavity of 27-38
mm and the average of 30.8 mm. In other phase A settlements, values of 27 mm have
been found at Bălţaţi (Haimovici, 1997), and 29 mm at Dumeşti (Haimovici, 1989) for the
length of scapula glenoid cavity. For the three coxals we obtained values of 29-32 mm of
the antero-posterior diameter and a medium of 31 mm which are similar to the values
found at Drăguşeni, of 28-35 mm and an average of 31.6 mm (Bolomey & El Susi, 2000),
and to those from Dumeşti, of 30-34 mm and a medium of 32.75 mm (Haimovici, 1989).
For Feteşti samples, only two measurements have been made, for a proximal
phalanx (greatest length of 41.5 mm) and for a coxal (the antero-posterior diameter of
30.5 mm and the cross diameter of 30.5 mm).
For this species no withers height has been estimated there being no remains in any
of the samples on which such estimates could be made.
Ovis aries/Capra hircus (sheep/goat). Few of the bone remains have been
specifically identified as belonging to Ovis aries or Capra hircus species, the greatest part
being of the sheep/goat zootehnical group (Ovis aries/Capra hircus). At Hoiseşti 37
remains have been measured: nine for Ovis aries, most at the level at long and short bones
(two astragals, two calcaneus, one radius, two distal fragments of tibia with distal width of
22 mm and 25 mm, and two distal fragments of humerus with distal width of 30 and 31
mm), 27 remains for Ovis aries/Capra hircus (15 for long and short bones, 3 for plate
bones and 9 for cephalic fragments) and one distal of humerus fragment of Capra hircus
(36 mm distal width). Of the bones belonging to Ovis aries/Capra hircus group, there
have been measured: astragal, calcaneus, phalanx I, humerus, metacarp, radius and tibia
(Tables 5; 6).
The Ovis aries withers heights have been estimated on some pieces using Teichert
coefficients (1975, taken from Udrescu et al., 1999), the values being: 59 cm and 51 cm
(astragal), 76.3 cm and 78.6 cm (calcaneus) and 53 cm (radius). The value obtained for
the withers height on the basis of the radius is close to that obtained for the some element
at Drăguşeni where the values are of 56.3 cm; 60.7 cm according to Teichert and of 55.4
cm; 59.8 cm according to Haak (Bolomey & El Susi, 2000).
At Feteşti measurements have been done for an astragal (29 mm length) and two
humerus distal fragments (28 mm and 35.5 mm distal width) (Table 8).
Canis familiaris (dog). A number of 8 remains have been measured from the
sample at Hoiseşti (Tables 5 - 7): two long bones (humerus and tibia), one scapula and
five skull elements (four mandibles and one M1 inferior).
- 282 -
Wild mammals
Cervus elaphus (red deer). Out of all the remains identified from the samples at
Hoiseşti 22 have been measured: 19 long and short bones (Table 5), two scapula
fragments (the glenoid cavity length of 50 and 56 mm) (Table 6) and one inferior molar
M3 (41 mm in length and 18 mm width).
Most of the bones that could be measured belong to zeugopod and autopod.
Phalanxes are the bones which were best preserved whole and so, for the six median
phalanxes which have been measured, their length variable limits are between 47 mm and
53 mm, and the medium value of this parameter is 50 mm. Three proximal phalanxes have
also been measured their length being 53 mm, 63 mm and 70 mm (Table 5), which
indicates a great variability within the population, which can be accounted for by the
sexual dimorphism, similar to the case we found in other settlements where values vary
from 50 mm at Preuteşti-Haltă (Haimovici, 2003) to 68 mm met at Bălţaţi (Haimovici,
1997). The proximal width for two radius fragments is of 62.5 mm and 68 mm. Other
measured pieces have been centrotars, metatarsus and humerus (Table 5).
Only one astragal has been measured at Feteşti and its greatest length is 58.5 mm
(Table 8).
Sus scrofa (wild boar). In the Hoiseşti sample measurements have been made on
133 fragments: 108 long and short bones, 15 plate bones and 10 skull remains (Table 5 7).
Measurements have been made on seven astragal (the variable limits for the
proximal length being 50.5 mm for the minimum and 56.5 mm for the maximum, the
medium value 53.85 mm), nine calcaneus (the variable limits for greatest length being
between 100 mm and 119 mm, the medium of 108 mm). 22 pieces were measured for
proximal phalanx, the limits of variability for greatest length being between 43.5 mm and
55mm, and the average of 48.15 mm. 12 fragments have been measured for humerus and
the distal width varies between 50 mm-58 mm and the average value of this parameter is
of 53.8 mm. These values correspond to those found at Drăguşeni, where values of 49-64
mm were obtained and the average is of 59.3 mm (Bolomey & El Susi, 2000). One of the
parameters assessed for radius is the width of proximal epiphysis with the variable limits
between 37.5 and 45.5 mm and the medium value of 40.9 mm. The variable limits for the
width of the distal epiphysis of tibia are between 38 mm and 42.5 mm, the medium value
of 40.5 mm, while at Drăguşeni the values obtained are between 36.5 mm and 42 mm
with an average of 39.2 mm. The measurements of remains from domestic pig and from
wild boar are presented in the figures 1, 2 and 3, for humerus, radius and proximal
phalanx. Measurements have also been made for femur, metacarpus, metatarsus III and
metatarsus IV (Table 5).
The values we obtained for astragals and calcaneus correspond to the variable
limits obtained at Drăguşeni where the values for astragals are of 51-57.6 mm and the
average is 545 mm, and for calcaneus 105-115 mm, with average of 107.9 mm (Bolomey
& El Susi, 2000).
6 measurements have been made for plate bones of coxal and 8 for greatest length
of the processus articularis of scapula with variable limits between 46-53 mm and medium
of 49.7 mm (Table 6).
The withers height has been estimated on the basis of astragals and calcaneus, by
Teichert coefficients (1975, taken from Udrescu et al., 1999). According to astragal, the
medium size is of 98.7 cm, the smallest value being of 92.6 cm and the highest of 103.4
cm. The medium value calculated on the basis of calcaneus is higher than that calculated
- 283 -
on the basis of astragalus, namely 103.5 cm, and the limits of variability have higher
values (93 cm-113.7 cm). At Drăguşeni, the medium size estimated on the astragal is of
97.7 cm, the smaller size of 91.2 cm and the tallest size of 105.3 cm. The medium value
calculated on the basis of calcaneum is of 100.7 cm and the limits of variability are
between 93.4 cm and 107.4 cm (Bolomey & El Susi, 2000). Other two whole bones
allowed the estimation of the withers height, the values obtained being of 106 cm (on the
basis of a metatarsus III) and of 105.7 cm (on the basis of a metatarsus IV).
4 bones have been measured at Feteşti for this species (Table 8): a medium
phalanx, a distal phalanx and two fragments of radius (a proximal one - 36.5 mm proximal
width, and a distal one - 44.5 mm distal width). The value of proximal width of radius
being lower to those found for the Hoiseşti sample.

Capreolus capreolus (roe deer). A number of 31 fragments have been measured in
the sample from Hoiseşti: 15 long and short bones, 5 plate bones (one coxal and four
proximal scapula fragments) and 11 skull fragments.
Four astragals have been measured, the variability limits for greatest length being
29 mm - 37 mm, and the medium value for this parameter is of 32.4 mm. Three proximal
phalanxes have been measured (greatest length of 42, 42 and 43 mm) with a medium
value of 42.3 mm. Other measured pieces were humerus, metacarpus and radius (Table 5).
Numerous measurements have been taken for fragments of mandible (Table 7), the
estimated parameter, being the length of cheektooth row (the variability limits for these
parameters being 68-74 mm and the medium value 70 mm), the length of the molar row
(with variability limit of between 40-43 mm and the medium value of 41.6 mm), the
length and the width of the molar tooth M3 (Table 7).
Nine remains from the Feteşti sample are of roe deer but they could not be
measured (Table 2).
Bos primigenius (aurochs). For the sample from Hoiseşti (Table 5) measures have
been done for seven long and short bones, of which two astragals (of which one of 81 mm
greatest length and 50 mm distal width), one calcaneus (190 greatest length) and a
proximal radius fragment (breadth of the proximal end of 118 mm), a proximal phalanx
(greatest length of 87 mm). The values for two medium phalanxes, of 57 mm greatest
length, are different from those of the Bos taurus species, as can be seen in figure 4.
In the Feteşti sample this species has not been identified.

Lepus europaeus (hare). In the samples from Hoiseşti, measurements have been
made for five long and short bones (femur, radius, humerus, and two tibias) and one
scapula (15 mm length of glenoide cavity). The value for the distal width of the femur is
of 20 mm, 13 mm for humerus and 16 mm for tibia (Table 5).
In the Feteşti sample there are only two remains belonging to this species (Table 2),
but they couldn’t be measured because of their fragmentation.
At Hoiseşti the diversity of identified wild species is relatively high (Table 1), but
for some species few bones have been measured. So, for fox the only measured piece is a
humerus, the distal width of it being 20 mm; a tibia of beaver has been measured, its
distal width being 22 mm; of the squirrel bones a radius (4 mm proximal width) and a
tibia (37 mm length) (Table 5).
Conclusions
The osteometric data are relatively few, because few of the remains could be
measured, due to their high degree of fragmentation. Because of lack of the whole bones
the withers height could not be estimated for some species highly represented within the
samples such as Bos taurus, Sus domesticus, Cervus elaphus, Capreolus capreolus. The
only values for the withers height are of Ovis aries and Sus scrofa in both cases the
variability limits being large for this parameter: between 51 cm and 78.6 cm for Ovis aries
and 92.6 cm and 113 cm for Sus scrofa.
A clear distinction could be noticed, in some pieces, between the domestic and wild
forms, on the basis of metric date, as for instance between Bos taurus and Bos primigenius
species, and Sus domesticus and Sus scrofa respectively.
