Analysed set of bones cones from two objects (no 11 and 13), excavated on a multi-cultural site in Smrokow, site 17, Kraków County. Materials discovered there can be dated to the II period of the Bronze Epoch, and are associated with the development of the Trzciniec Culture in the loess areas of the Lesser Poland Upland. Animal bone relics from Smrokow were subject to zoological analyses, which consisted of species and anatomical identification, quantitative assessment (bones and specimens), measurements of bones and estimating age, gender and size of animals, as well as observation of traces, patological changes and anomalies in bones. High proportion of domestic mammals bones in the material from Smrokow can indicate the main role played by animal husbandry in providing meat for food. It represents a low horse of the tarpan type, its built resembling that of medium-thick-legged and thick-legged horses.
