This work deals with Neanderthal subsistence behaviours during the
Middle Palaeolithic in Hungary, through the example of Erd site.
Very discreet, hunting and mainly scavenging, activities are shown
by zooarchaeological study for meat procurement. This is different
for carnivores, except for cave bears. The latter, using the place
for hibernation, meant a high number of their remains are
associated with "Charentian" lithic industry and with those of cave
hyena. This carnivore has a significant impact on bone
accumulations, herbivores and bears, and shows signs of cannibalism
on its congener's remains. Human activities are visible only on a
few bones belonging to large ungulates and cave bear. However, no
proof supports the proposition of a clear specialization in cave
bear hunting on acquiring meat resources (as written by V. Gabori
Csank in the monography on Erd published in 1968); a contrario, on
scavenging carcasses and/or visiting (actively?) dens for weakened
wintering/hibernating bears. These results attest the
contemporaneity of a part of the bear carcasses with human
installation or presence on the site.
