“…Finally, at the mining site of Dürrnberg female cattle prevailed with 77.9% [73]; a higher number of adults (35.3%) represented older individuals (7-10 years).

“…Differences were also noted in ritual contexts (Figure 9c): in Roseldorf-Great Sanctuary [86] females prevailed (60%), whereas at the sanctuary of Frauenberg [78], males/castrated reached very high numbers (87.2%). Pigs were usually slaughtered between 1.5 and 3 years [73,78,81,82,85,90,99,100,105,107,108].…”

“…Remarkable similarities are noted especially to Roseldorf and Wien-"Palais Rasumofsky" due to the possible presence of "exotic cattle" from the South. Finally, a common observation for the small-sized Iron Age cattle population concerns the lower third molar: a reduction of the talonid of the third mandibular molar was noted in several sites, including Altenburg [99], Dürrnberg [73], Mšecké Žehrovice [89],…”

“…Similar results derive from Haselbach (Table 9); a comparison of the height at withers (Table 9) and the metric data (Table 10) with other La Tène assemblages (especially in eastern Austria) shows similar values. Sheep remains from Mitterretzbach [83] and Dürrnberg [73][74][75][76][77] showed significantly larger sheep (77 cm), a size usually present during the Roman period (Table 10); the interpretation of these rare finds of large-sized sheep during the La Tène remains enigmatic [117,118].…”

“…The review of the metric data shows the existence of different morphotypes: the length of the cheektooth row (M3-P1) for instance suggests the existence of some large-sized dogs (Table 13). In some cases, remains show morphological similarities to what is known today as the German shepherd dog [73]. Exceptional dog finds include the very small-sized dog remains from Roseldorf, with distinct similarities to the Roman period lapdogs [86].…”

The first part of our research focuses on the analysis of animal remains (>6000 identified specimens, NISP) from the Middle La Tène central settlement Haselbach in Lower Austria, one of the largest investigated archaeozoological assemblages of present-day Austria. Based on the age and sex profiles, the faunal assemblage from Haselbach shows characteristics of urbanization and centralization and bears striking similarities to the archaeozoological material of the central settlement of Roseldorf (Lower Austria), some 35 km northwest of Haselbach. The second part of our research discusses the historical and regional context of the archaeozoological results from Haselbach and compares them with other sites, based on a detailed review of published archaeozoological data from the La Tène period (c. 450 BC to the end of the first century BC). In total, 55 faunal assemblages from 46 sites in nine countries in Central Europe, representing different types of sites (lowland settlements, hilltop settlements, central settlements, oppida, assemblages of ritual activity, and mining sites) were examined. The synthesis of the archaeozoological data exhibits different husbandry strategies and suggests major changes, especially during the Middle La Tène period indicating agricultural intensification. The differences in the biological profiles of the major domesticated species are of crucial importance to better understand aspects of socio-economic organization; especially in the case of cattle, age and sex profiles are used to distinguish different patterns of cattle husbandry. Finally, morphometric and recent genetic analyses on cattle bones and teeth from La Tène sites in Central Europe provide new insights into the complex socio-economic behavior as well as long-distance networks, involving animal supply and mobility in an exciting period of change involving centralization and increasing influence from the South during the pre-Roman late Iron Age.

What is behind the term "Baden culture"? Which cultural levels does it touch? How is it to be classified in space and time? It is a concept of supra-regional importance that has significantly shaped Central and South-Eastern European research. This work presents a necessary discussion and redefinition of the common concept, based on a detailed submission of material and reappraisal of archaeological finds from Late Neolithic settlements in the regions of Moravia, Upper Silesia and Lesser Poland.
