Excavated osteological material has been very valuable tool to reconstitute the more precise and objective view of the horses farmed in the past, to follow the evolution of the Lithuanian horse. The data that enabled to estimate the height, constitution and age of the horse is very rare. The metacarpal, metatarsal bones and scull or at least the lower jaw (mandibule) with teeth could be pointed out as the most valuable material. Teeth belong to the best preserved elements of excavations’ material. Such factors as dentition or wear allow determining the animal age. However solitary molars (as they found frequently) do not able to provide this kind of information. Therefore, the methods allowing determining the horse age according to the tooth height and number of cementum rings are very valuable.
