A horn-core of Bos primigenius excavated from the depth of 537.3–537.4 m in the late medieval deposits of the second half of the 17th century to the 1st half of the 18th century AD is reported. This record suggests that the aurochs survived in the Central Balkans a century later than the reported known date (1627) from northern Poland.
