The present paper deals with the identification and interpretation of the archeozoological material harvested from the archaeological campaign in 2008 under the supervision of specialists from the National History Museum Alba-Iulia in the area of the Olympic Swimming Pool. The Iron Age settlement (pit no 401) revealed the existence of a grave of a horse, buried along a series of artefacts. The material presented was in a very poor state of conservation, allowing, in most cases, only partial measurements. Most of the material belonged to one single horse (Equus caballus) which was evaluated from an anatomical perspective and an osteometrical as well. According to the concluded data, the bones belonged to a young individual, no more than 3-3.5 years old, with an average height calculated, based on the measured long bones, of 139 cm.

马蹄形-迟来时期的迹象-考古动物学报告-

本论文涉及在奥林匹克游泳池区域的阿尔巴-尤利亚国家历史博物馆专家的监督下，对 2008 年考古活动中收获的考古动物材料的鉴定和解释。铁器时代的定居点（401 号坑）揭示了马的坟墓的存在，埋在一系列文物旁边。所展示的材料的保存状态非常差，在大多数情况下，只能进行部分测量。大多数材料属于一匹马（Equus caballus），从解剖学角度和骨测量学角度对其进行了评估。根据得出的数据，这些骨头属于一个不超过3-3.5岁的年轻人，根据测量的长骨计算出的平均身高为139厘米。
