The Late Palaeolithic settlement Cosăuţi 1 (Moldova), dated for ca. 19 000-17 000 BP, yielded about 34 000 determined remains of large and small mammals. People hunted mainly reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and horse (Equus latipes). The faunal structure, character of bone preservation, and their accumulation as well as the diversity of large mammals in Cosăuţi 1 indicate that here we are possibly dealing with a butchering and killing site of the Late Gravettian age.
