Rescue excavations recovered a skeleton that resurrect the contemporary dramatic history of Austria in the 17th century as troops besieged Vienna in the second Osmanic-Habsburg war. Unique for Central Europe is the evidence of a completely preserved camel skeleton uncovered in a large refuse pit. The male individual of slender stature indicates a few but characteristic pathological changes revealing not a beast of burden but probably a valuable riding animal. Anatomical and morphometrical analyses suggest a hybrid confirmed by the ancient DNA analyses resulting in the presence of a dromedary in the maternal and a Bactrian camel in the paternal line.
救援发掘出土了一具骨骼,它重现了17世纪奥地利当代的戏剧性历史,当时在第二次奥斯曼 - 哈布斯堡战争中,军队围困了维也纳。在中欧独一无二的是,在一个大型垃圾坑中发现了一具保存完好的骆驼骨骼。这具身材苗条的雄性个体显示出一些但具有特征性的病理变化,表明它不是驮兽,而可能是一匹珍贵的坐骑。解剖学和形态测量分析表明是杂交品种,古代DNA分析证实了这一点,结果显示母系是单峰骆驼,父系是双峰骆驼。
