Samenvatting

The skeletons of two fetal horses and three human babies were found during the exca­vation of the terp at Wijnaldum in 1992. The animal and human skeletons were exa­mined in order to determine their age and circumstances at death. The discovery of the horses is peculiar because aborted fetal animals were usually not buried but thrown on the dung-hill and left to scavenging dogs. The finds of the human babies are remarkable since only very few indications of other (adult) buriais are known from the site till now.
