Anotace: Igren 8 is a settlement of hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period. In total, 10 pit-dwellings were found,

having been constructed by the people of the Kukrek Culture (the 8th – 7th Millenia BC). The present
study focuses on revising the animal osteological material according to modern archaeozoological
techniques. The study findings are related to the seasonal fluctuations of the settlement, the hunting
specialisation of its inhabitants, and the details of taphonomy of the bones found. Moreover, a group of
bone fragments were distinguished that constituted the waste material from bone tool production. The
major groups of osseous industry are also described.
