„A teve és ló … keletről eljövetelére vonatkozólag”. Orientalizmus a magyar régészeti állattanban
“The Camel and the Horse … with regard to the arrival from the East”: Orientalism in Hungarian Archaeozoology

Archaeozoology in Hungary emerged in the Romantic era, permeated by Orientalism, the myth of the “fabulous East”. The survival of this view in the interpretation of a recent find is shown through the example of interpreting cranial features of camels and horses, beasts of great symbolic value.
