[No Ice Age in Hasenbüren – A Revaluation of allegedly Pleistocene Animal Bones]
Abstract
In 2004 a bag of bones found 1985 during sewer works in Hasenbüren was given to the Archaeology Department of Bremen. In a first examination these bones had been identified as “aurochs” and of “Pleistocene” origin. The bones have been re-examined. The results show that all bones stem from domestic mammals (cattle, horse, pig). A Pleistocene origin can be excluded in all cases. Aurochs are not included in the assemblage.
