Summary/Abstract: This study presents the archaeozoological analysis of faunal remains from the Late Roman settlement at Sângeorgiu de Mureș (Marosszentgyörgy, Mureș County, RO)–Site No. 4. The assemblage, dominated by domestic cattle, ovicaprines, and pigs, reflects a balanced mixed economy based on meat, milk, and secondary products. Evidence of hunting, carcass processing, and bone tool manufacture reveals efficient resource use and adaptability of the post-Roman community to its environment.
