The author presents the results of a zoological analysis of animal bone remains of three Funnel Beakers culture (FBC) sites located in the upper Vistula River basin. These are Donosy, site 3, Donatkowice, site 23 and Zagorzyce, site 3 (all of them situated in the Kazimierza Wielka district). The aim of the zoological analysis was to determine the species and anatomy of bone remains and to measure and estimate them quantitatively, as well as to determine the age, sex and size of the animals. The results of zoological analyses were discussed separately for each of the three examined sites and then compared with analogous results of research on animal bone material from other FBC sites situated in the upper Vistula River basin.
