In spring 2012, osteological material was collected at the “Gornja Šuma” site (site no. 47), located in the territory of Novi Sad, and it was dated to the early 9th cen- tury. 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 ana- lysed 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.
