Street, Martin/Elaine Turner: The Faunal Remains from Gönnersdorf

With contributions by Michel Baylac, Olivier Bignon, Raphael Cornette, Laura Niven and Mikhail V. Sablin. Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Forschungsinstitut für Archäologie. The analysis of the faunal remains goes far beyond a mere presentation of primary archaeozoological data to investigate the ways in which the Magdalenian site occupants incorporated hunting and subsistence into their daily life and social organisation. Methods including targeted strategies of radiocarbon dating, analyses of mortality patterns of horse, the main prey animal, meticulous recording of evidence for butchery, and the plotting and interpretation of spatial patterning of animal remains place the faunal data in context. Integrating these approaches the authors have produced a convincing description of a Magdalenian settlement occupied seasonally in response to environmental opportunities and constraints, organised according to a strict spatial template and functioning as a semi-permanent »village«.
