Summary/Abstract: As indicated in the title, we tried to present the frequencies and characteristics of some animal groups and species, coming from the archaeozoological diggings, from different stages, starting with the Early Aeneolithic and ending with the Final Aeneolithic. We tried to arrange both cultures and sites in an absolute chronological order, but mainly in a relative chronological order, as the data are not yet clear due to the reduced number of studies. Only by studying pottery, some of the economic characteristics could not be outlined, so it was necessary to resort to one of the connected sciences, one of them being archaeozoology, for the determination of the activity and character of the old human societies.
