Burial Rites in Arctic Eurasia
Bone Fractures under the Microscope. An Experimental Approach to Mid-Upper Paleolithic Faunal Remains
Bone fragmentation results from different natural processes or various activities employed by several taphonomic agents. However, it may also represent direct evidence of deliberate human activity connected to the exploitation of animal resources throughout the Paleolithic period. Extensive long mammal bone fragmentation research resulted in last decades into description of individual fracture characteristics reflecting the background of fragment…
Preparation of thin histological sections from archaeological bone and tooth samples
Histological analysis of osteological remains from archaeological excavations provides data and information that can be difficult or impossible to obtain from macroscopic description and examination. Furthermore, the microscopic perspective provides important evidence for taxonomically indeterminate samples lacking morphologically diagnostic marks, e.g. determination of human/non-human bone origin, and can provide further information about analys…
Aspects of hard tissue modifications. Three objects from the Gravettian at Dolní Věstonice II (Czech Republic)
The paper presents a case study of three animal hard tissue objects from the Gravettian site of Dolní Věstonice II (Czech Republic), a beaver incisor, a wolf canine and a raven femur, bearing unusual modifications.Detailed archeozoological, archeological and experimental methods provide complex insights into the interpretation of human and non-human taphonomic impacts affecting the morphology of selected examples.In the case of the beaver incisor…

Zöld Cave and the Late Epigravettian in Eastern Central Europe
Zöld Cave is a recently discovered Late Epigravettian site in Hungary. It yielded a small archaeological collection dated to 17.0–14.9 ka cal BP. The findings consists of faunal remains of horse and reindeer bearing extensive marks of human activity, and lithic artifacts of hunting armature types, including curved backed points, backed truncated bladelets, and backed bladelet, typical for a Late Epigravettian tool inventory. The archeozoological …

Last Glacial Maximum landscape and Epigravettian horse hunting strategy in Central Europe
With the end of MIS3, the unity of larger Gravettian settlements based predominantly on mammoth exploitation split into a mosaic of smaller Epigravettian sites with specific behaviors and economies. Based on C14 chronology, the site of Stránská skála IV (together with Grubgraben, Ságvár and Kašov), correlates with a brief warm period after the Last Glacial Maximum around 22 ka calBP. We detected two main accumulations of predominantly horse bones…

Human and non‐human taphonomic effects on faunal remains from the Late Upper Paleolithic
This paper focuses on two accumulations of horse bones at the Stránská skála IV site, dated from around the Last Glacial Maximum (Epigravettian). Osteological material was subjected to taxonomical and taphonomical analyses. The results confirmed the prevalence of horses, and quantitative analyses indicated a minimum of 10 individuals, which is the approximate size of a herd. The taphonomical analyses did not confirm any traces of human activities…
Pleistocene landslides and mammoth bone deposits
The formation of extensive mammoth bone deposits is a characteristic feature of the large Upper Paleolithic settlements of the Moravian Gravettian (approximately 30 ky cal BP). Some of these were preferentially deposited in moist locations, possibly for reasons of hygiene and conservation. Here, we present a case of a mammoth bone deposit located in a side gully below the Dolní Věstonice II settlement, where an earlier a Pleistocene landslide tem…
Pieces of people in the Pavlovian
The rich earlier Mid Upper Palaeolithic (Pavlovian) sites of Dolní Vĕstonice I and II and Pavlov I (∼32,000-∼30,000 cal BP) in southern Moravia (Czech Republic) have yielded a series of human burials, isolated pairs of extremities and isolated bones and teeth. The burials occurred within and adjacent to the remains of structures ('huts'), among domestic debris. Two of them were adjacent to mammoth bone dumps, but none of them was directly associa…

Stopy ľudského ohryzu na kostiach (Pilotná experimentálna analýza)
Stopy ľudského ohryzu sú v archeologickom a antropologickom kontexte zdrojom informácií o socio-kultúrnom pozadí skúmanej súčasnej i minulej spoločnosti, ich stravovacej kultúre a návykoch. Tento článok prezentuje výber z už publikovaných metodík používaných pri štúdiu tejto témy a testuje stopy ľudského ohryzu na experimentálnej vzorke zo Slovenskej republiky. Vzorka so 40 dobrovoľníkmi bola rozdelená do dvoch skupín– jedna skupina bola informov…
Forgotten times and spaces
Human lives and their evolution are spanned throughout different times and various spaces. Nevertheless, their destiny might seem inexorable, for the witnesses, their memories or tangible evidences are slowly forgotten. This book displays two main efforts – on one hand in collecting and describing the shreds of previous and yet forgotten lifestyles, and on the other in reflecting the scope of Jiří Svoboda’s physical and intellectual cooperation w…

Ethnological Approach to Siberian Zoomorphs
Ethnological analogies derived from studies of recent environments and societies in Arctic and Subarctic regions of Siberia are generally being applied in archaeological interpretative models. The analogies prove to be inspiring, because each of them has the potential to enlarge the scope of static archaeological evidence by including dynamic aspects of social and symbolic systems within recent societies. Here, we analyze electronic databases and…
Paleolithic hunting in a southern Moravian landscape
The Dolní Věstonice–Pavlov–Milovice area (Czech Republic) on the slopes of the Pavlov Hills provides an opportunity for correlating the geomorphology of the Dyje River valley with Gravettian settlement patterns. Although the sites vary in size and complexity, they create a regular chain of strategic locations at elevations between 200 m and 240 m asl. In 2009, a road collapsed into deserted cellars inside the village of Milovice and revealed a co…
