Abstract:	This chapter describes the zooarchaeological findings from an analysis of the mammalian remains from Man Bac. Several hundred vertebrate remains were recovered during the excavations of Man Bac between 2005 and 2007. Mammalian and fish bones formed the main component of the recovered vertebrate assemblage. These animal bones provide primary information for an understanding of the subsistence behaviours of the Man Bac community during the neolithic and of the palaeoenvironment of the coastal plain where Man Bac is situated. Previous studies have examined the past mammalian fauna of northern Vietnam (Vu, 1981, 1984; Vu and Nguyen, 1988; Nguyen and Vu, 2004), however, there is limited available data on the quantity and size of the mammalian archaeological assemblages. This report provides quantitative information for the mammalian assemblage as well as supplying raw data on taxonomic identification and the measurements of bones and teeth (see Appendix 9.1 and 9.2 this chapter).
