Abstract

The zooarchaeological investigation of the remains discovered at the Bronze Age site of Solarolo via Ordiere during the field-seasons 2006-2007, permits to identify about the 30% of the osteological finds by species (1325 on a total of more than 4000 remains). The resulting subsistence economy seems to be almost exclusively based on breeding. The most represented species are sheep and goats, with sheep definitely prevailing on goats, followed by pigs and a relative small quantity of cattle. This type of breeding economy match the general situation as outlined from the other contemporary sites in Emilia-Romagna.
