摘要：By putting it in an archaeological context, the paper deals with the analysis of the Early Iron Age (Ha C-D)animal bone material of the site which has been unearthed at Győr–Ménfőcsanak. The results of archaeologicaland archaeobotanical examinations are also supported by archaeozoology; the natural environment of the EarlyIron Age lowland settlement contained belts of forests and groves, in addition to the cultivated areas. One partof the settlement provided a suitable place for the people for farming and livestock keeping. The inhabitants ofthe agrarian settlement carried out subsistence farming. In keeping domestic animals, ruminants (cattle 35.7%)and sheep and goats (collectively 29.86%) were prevalent, yet, keeping of hens – which were rare in those days– has been proved by not only a few bones but also the eggshell fragments of them. The ratio of animals huntedand fished for barely exceeds 10%, yet, numerous species – among them the brown bear which is met withsporadically in flatland and even beaver and sturgeon – can be found
