Eggshell remains in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age assemblage at Ménfőcsanak–Széles-Földek

An exciting collection of archaeozoological finds have been found in the Bronze and Early Iron Age material of Ménfőcsanak–Széles-földek site: among the animal bones, a larger amount of bird bones and even eggshell fragments were identified. In addition, there were chicken bones in the objects of the Tumulus culture which are considered to be the earliest findings in the Carpathian Basin so far. The significance of this new finding is enhanced by the fact that the remains of hatched eggs have been found, that proves not only hen raising but also the breeding of species. The present study has a dual role, as it analyses bird bones and eggs, and enriches Hungarian archaeological literature with a number of new results.
