Summary/Abstract: This text addresses animal remains from gallows in South Moravia. Animal bones and teeth are usually present in the area of gallows, represented by both domestic and wild animals. In some cases, bones bear traces of human activity such as butchering. Compared to big gallows with numerous animal remains (e.g. Emmenbrücke), the findings from Tišnov, Slavkov and Ivančice are only few, very fragmentary and usually with recent admixture. This complicates the interpretation of why and how these animal remains got into the gallows area.
