Capreolus sp.

(Fig. 47)

Material – Layer 1: Right M 2 (VER 2017.8232.) (Fig. 47).

Layer 2: 2 upper (?) tooth fragments (V.81.42).

Remarks – The roe deer remains from Somssich Hill 2 were identified by JÁNOSSY (1999) as Capreolus suessenbornensis Kahlke but the very poor material is unsuitable for more precise identification than genus level. The dimensions of the Somssich Hill 2 remains fit in with those of C. suessenbornensis, but also with the extant C. capreolus, so any certain determination is impossible.

On the basis of the taxonomic evaluation of the macromammal record discussed in the above, we revised the faunal lists of the Somssich Hill 2 locality which were published in JÁNOSSY (1990, 1999) and PAZONYI et al. (2018) (Table 4). An interesting phenomenon that we had to delete two taxa; these are Alces sp. and Macaca sp. Although originally they were listed both in JÁNOSSY (1990) and (1999) we were not able to find such remains neither amongst the inventoried nor amongst the uninventoried material from Somssich Hill 2.
