Summary/Abstract: The article describes a new archaeozological material from the Eneolithic settlement Gordinești II-Stînca goală, collected during the archaeological excavations of the 2017 and 2018 field campaigns. The new material comes from sectors A and B of the excavated part of the archaeological site. In addition to the remains of cattle, domestic goat, horse, wild boar, fox, red deer, and roe deer, known on this monument according to the data from the previous excavation, the new archaeozological material indicates the presence of the domestic pig and sheep in the settlement. The dog remains are extremely few. It should also be noted the relatively large number of remains of red deer and roe deer, which make up about 21% of the total number of the determined archaeozoological material. The new findings of the horse are of particular interest, since the new material allows us to give a preliminary characterization of the Eneolithic form of the domestic horse from Moldova.
