Abstract
Archaeozoological research based on the 1159 animal remains analysis, recorded at the former locality of Nakonowo Stare village. The assemblage under studies was dated to the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. Within typical post-consumption remains the cattle was the best represented (54%). Other species identified were pigs (19%), sheep/goats (9%), horse (11%), dog (4%), deer (0,08%), hen (0,8%) and goose (0,2%). The meat-oriented selection preferred animals unnecessary for the further breeding. The cattle kept in the eighteenth-nineteenth-century village was of the brahycerous type, 90-134 cm height, also pigs were rather small in size. The horses were more diverse, measuring 110-155 cm in the withers. Model of breeding and a meat consumption in Nakonowo Stare represented one of the three main scenarios for the domesticated stock usage in Central Europe.
