Summary/Abstract: The present article features the preliminary data obtained following the analyzes related to the use of hard animal materials to obtain objects by the prehistoric communities of Parţa. This analysis is part of the extended archaeozoological research carried out for the osteological fragments obtained from the numerous campaigns of archaeological research carried out by Gheorghe Lazarovici within the Neo‑Eneolithic settlement from Parţa. Starting from the description of the types, sources and methods of selection of the hard animal material, the paper presents the results of the analyzes obtained for the 50 objects made of animal bone, found so far in the archaeozoological research of the Parţa settlement. Although it is a small number of objects, the sample is diversified, the pieces can be classified into several groups: tools, objects of daily use (spoons), objects of clothing and personal ornament (pendants, clothing items etc.), as well as scraps debit.
