“…Apart from the generic beak impact marks -defined as punctures-mentioned in various studies (Laroulandie, 2005;Lloveras et al, 2008Lloveras et al, , 2009Bochenski et al, 2009), we believe it is important to add some further morphotypes in view of the variety of alterations we observed in the sample studied. These modifications have been classified as (Binford, 1981: 44;Laroulandie, 2005;Sanchis et al, 2011b): -Notch: bone loss on the edge of the fracture that can result in an oblique, concave indentation on the inner wall.…”

In this regard, it has been shown at various archaeological sites that these birds play an active role in the formation of bone sets (Robert and Vigne, 2002a, b;Davis et al, 2007;Costamagno et al, 2008;Marín-Arroyo et al, 2009;Sanchis, 2012), indicating that there are processes of interaction with the humans who inhabit the same places.…”

The Egyptian vulture, a diurnal, scavenging, rupicolous bird of prey, is one of four vulture species that currently inhabit the Iberian Peninsula. An analysis of the remains found in the nests confirms that it has a heterogeneous diet that includes remains from human activities (butchery and food production) and the carcasses of dead animals, although it is possible that they also prey on small-sized taxa. The taphonomic study determines these birds' capability of transporting, accumulating and altering bone remains. Some of the elements show marks caused by beak and/or claw impacts brought about primarily during feeding, which have characteristic typologies. Despite the fact that this is not a bone-eating vulture, it can also be seen that some bones are swallowed. The characteristics of the bone set studied here are important for establishing the origin of bone accumulations on archaeological sites.

Archeozoologické spracovanie zvieracích pozostatkov zo šibenice pri Slavkove lenka Jurkovičová arCHaeOzOOlOGiCal aNalysis OF tHe aNiMal reMaiNs FrOM slaVkOV GallOWsABSTRAKT V doplnění kontextu informací o šibenici ze Slavkova byla provedena archeozoologická analýza, s cílem popsat výskyt živočichů na této lokalitě a rozšířit tak možnosti interpretace archeologické situace. Analyzovaný osteologický materiál byl na základě podrobného zhodnocení tafonomických projevů na kostech rozčleněn do dvou chronologických úseků -první náležející původnímu kontextu provozu šibenice, druhý spíše recentního charakteru. Z prvního období pochází šest druhů domácí i volně žijící fauny, v mladší části souboru bylo identifikováno několik druhů malých či drobných savců, a také pozůstatky ptactva. Lidské zásahy, které byly pozorovány na domestikované fauně ve starším období, svědčí o využití těchto zvířat v rámci potravní strategie lidí na popravišti; stopy natrávení žaludečními šťávami a charakteristické lomy na některých kostech volně žijící fauny v obou etapách odkazují na možné nahromadění vývržků dravým ptactvem.KEY WORDS archaeozoology; fauna; animal bones; butchering; subsistence strategies; gallows ABSTRACT With the aim to broaden the context of the Slavkov gallows archaeological situation, an archaeozoological analysis was carried out in order to describe the occurrence of animal species at this site. Based on the detailed evaluation of the bones taphonomic characteristics, the analysed osteological material was divided into two historical periods. The first one belongs to the gallows original context, the second exhibits more recent character. Six species of domestic and wild fauna originate from the former archaeological era; several species of small mammals, as well as bird remains, have been identified in the second part of the collection. Evidence of human manipulations observed on domesticated fauna from the earlier period indicate the use of these animals as a part of the people's subsistence strategy at the execution site; traces of digestion by gastric acids and characteristic fractures on wild fauna bones during both eras refer to the possible accumulation of pellets by birds of prey at this site.KLÍČOVÁ SLOVA archeozoologie; fauna; zvířecí kosti; lidské zásahy; potravní strategie; popraviště
