Abstract

Hamster (Cricetus cricetus Linnaeus, 1758) remains from Thuringian Age graves from Merxleben/ Unstrut Hainich county and Gotha-Boilstedt are presented. The field data from Boilstedt proved crucial to rule out an independent burying event of these animals and constitute one of the few instances of rodents being intentionally deposited in a funerary context.
