Dear Henriette,
(partial) skeletons or connected parts/anatomical units of hares are
known from some Lengyel, Baden and Early Bronze age contexts from Lower
Austria. They were recognized as belonging to a single individual when
the bones were studied, no ritual hare pits postulated by the excavators
so far. So there is no information if these incomplete skeletons were
found in situ.
