Abstract

Cementochronology, which is focused on the analysis of acellular cement growths in the teeth of hunted mammals, allows assessing their age and determining the period in the year when they were caught relatively accurately. Both information can approximate the use of natural resources of animal origin and the timing of their availability or allow us to understand the seasonal dynamics of the activities of the past societies associated with specific places. The study first presents the results of verification of cementochronology on reference material, i.e., the teeth of recent red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), and wild boar (Sus scrofa), which belong among the most common hunted game in Central Europe over a long period. Subsequently, the study brings results of the method being applied to selected finds of the same animal species from the early medieval hillfort Na Jánu in Netolice, located in South Bohemia.
