The dataset contains animal bone identifications carried out by Freydis Ehrlich and Lembi Lõugas in 2021-2022.
The bones come from the archaeological excavations conducted in Oa Street, Tartu, in 2021. The material is dated to the 13th till the 20th centuries; more information about the time periods can be found in the paper published about this site. 
The results of the excavations and zooarchaeological identifications are published: Malve, M., Ehrlich, F.,Haak., A., Lõugas, L., Hiie, S. 2022 Town under siege: The Great Northern war mass graves from the suburb of Tartu, Estonia. - Archaeological Fieldwork in Estonia / Arheoloogilised välitööd Eestis 2021 
The dataset is made public to act as a supplementary data for this paper and to make it usable for other researchers.
