In spring 2012, osteological material was collected at the ?Gornja Suma? site
(site no. 47), located in the territory of Novi Sad, and it was dated to the
early 9th century. The withers heights of pig - Sus scrofa domestica,
domestic cow - Bos taurus and sheep - Ovis aries, as the three most dominant
species at this archaeological site, were analysed based on the length of
bones and according to various authors [Boessneck 1956; Zalkin 1960;
Matolcsi 1970; Teichert 1975]. It was determined that in these three species
the withers heights mostly corresponded to the data from the Middle Ages.
