Leather was a widely employed material in the Roman world, mainly for the production of clothes, footwear, shield and armour covers and so on. Production was usually set in large urban centers, that is, at the edges of those settlements, due to unpleasant smell produced by the process. One of those large urban centers was certainly Viminacium – the capital of the province of Upper Moesia. However, unlike in later periods, there are only a few leather workshops potentially identified for the Roman period. Apart from the direct evidence of in situ structures, the presence of leather workshops can be hypothesized based on significant amounts of by-products, such as horn cores, metapodials and phalanges of animals (Bos taurus, Capra hircus and other), found in the same context. North-east of the Viminacium legionary camp, a large pit was excavated in 2017, containing mostly cattle horn cores and metapodials. It was suggested to represent a waste pit of a potential leather workshop waste, c...oncidering that other archaeological evidence suggests a presence of the textile coloring workshop (fullonica), which is often linked to the process of leather production. The aim of this paper is to investigate, based on the analyzed archaeozoological material, the production strategy of this workshop, identifying the species and breeds of the animals used, as well as their age-at-death and sex.
