Summary/Abstract: The small number of animal remains (60 fragments) discovered at the Neolithic site of Târgu Mureș have a kitchen midden aspect and except for one pig vertebra all come from wild and domestic individuals of Bos sp. (cattle and aurochs). The material outlines a population with a balanced maintenance based on both hunting and animal husbandry, possibly in the midst of domestication.
