Summary/Abstract: The point of Bobald is known for the Middle Bronze Age fortified settlement. In 1997/2000, during to the archaeologi- cal diggins from Carei-Bobald in a refuse pit (S.X., Gr.1) dacian ceramic fragments, metal objects, ash, animal bones, fire- place and coal fragments were discovered. Based on a broken brooch and analogies, the pit was dated from 1st Century A.D. The present paper focuses about the osteological remains found following the pit unveiling. From a total of 226 bones, only 90 fragments were identified. The following species were identified: bovines, capriovids, domestic swine, equine, canids and wild boar.
