Abstract

The mustelid assemblage from Hunas is represented by seven species: Gulo gulo gulo (Linnaeus, 1758), Meles meles (Linnaeus, 1758), Lutra lutra groissii Heller, 1983, Martes martes (Linnaeus, 1758), Mustela putorius Linnaeus, 1758, Mustela erminea Linnaeus, 1758 and Mustela nivalis Linnaeus, 1766. Most species have been found in the G1-G3 complex, while their remains in other layers are rare. The guild is dominated by remains of Mustela nivalis, for which well-preserved and stratified material shows a large, robust weasel, with a notable predominance of males. The morphology of Mustela nivalis, together with the occurrence of Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758), allowed us to estimate the age of the horizon at MIS 7.
