Abstract

(p. 142)

In 1971 Prof.Dr. R.W. Ehrich, one of the excavators of the settlement of Starčevo, asked me to study the animal remains which were collected during the excavations in 1932, 1969 and 1970. Some years later Dr. B. Jovanović invited me to study the faunal remains which were collected during the excavation of the Late Mesolithic / Early Neolithic settlement of Padina in the Djerdap region (Iron Gate). Since both sites are situated on a bank of the Danube in Yugoslavia (fig. 1), and both are important for our understanding of the end of the Mesolithic period and the introduction of agriculture in Central Europe, I decided to review the results of both studies together.
