Abstract

This paper deals with the results of the analysis of the archaeozoological collection from the Ufa-II hillffort, a standard monument of the Early Middle Ages in the Southern Ural region. Among the sites of the Ufa-Belaya interfluve the mentioned hillfort is the most fully studied archaeological site. The paper puts new data on archaeozoological materials from one of the local sectors of the hillfort into scientific discourse. The characteristic feature of this area is a powerful anthropogenic impact, which resulted in the destruction/mixing of sterile layers of the Middle Ages and Modern era. In connection with this circumstance, the results of the studies cannot be fully compared with previous work. Further publication of archaeozoological collections will allow us to detail the economic activity of the population at different chronological stages of the site's existence.
