Sledges and harnesses in the Upper Palaeolithic
On a theoretical level, the presented article analyses the possible existence and hypothetical methods of cargo transportation in the Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian, Magdalenian). Using ethnological observations and further studies concerning Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene finds originating from Arctic regions, the author describes the character of potential finds and the possibilities of their differentiation. In this context, she draws att…
Exploitation of radiolarites at the Milovice I Gravettian site
The lithic assemblage from the Gravettian site at Milovice I was predominantly composed of radiolarite. To reconstruct the mobility patterns of the Gravettian population, we addressed the question of whether the radiolarites were imported from the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) of the Western Carpathians or elsewhere. Another plausible source was the gravels from under the Pavlovské vrchy Hills. These are known to have been exploited in the Upper Pal…
Multidisciplinary Analysis of the Engraved Pebble From the Magdalenian Horizon of the Open-Air Site Hošťálkovice II – Hladový vrch (Czech Republic)

Cold and arid climates experienced by Central European hunter-gatherers at Stránská skála IV during the Last Glacial Maximum
Several studies have argued that human presence in Central Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) may have been restricted to brief periods of climate warming. In particular, Greenland Interstadial-2 (GI-2, c.23,300–22,800 BP), a brief warm event recorded in Greenland ice-core stratigraphy, has been associated with human activity at Central European sites such as Kastelhöhle-Nord and Y-Höhle (Switzerland), and Kammern-Grubgraben (Austria). …
Chemical fingerprinting of European radiolarites and raw material economies from the Moravian Aurignacian
Chemical fingerprinting and spectrophotometry were combined to conduct a provenance analysis of radiolarite artefacts from three Moravian (Czech Republic) Aurignacian sites of Tvarožná I, Nová Dědina I and Milovice I. Of the different methods used, laser ablation with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was the best suited to distinguish the different areas containing radiolarite outcrops. Based on their chemical fingerprint,…

Reconstruction of the Evolution of Palaeolithic Settlements within an Urban Agglomeration
With the use of available archival materials, the density and types of Palaeolithic settlements of the chosen urban agglomeration have been reconstructed. Considering the character of this study and availability of archival documents, the city of Brno, presently the second biggest city in the Czech Republic in terms of density of population, was selected. The discovered sites with evidence of Palaeolithic settlement were located using absolute co…
Příspěvek k osídlení oblasti Brno-Štýřice. Záchranný výzkum na ulici Vídeňská 11
As a result of the rescue excavation at 11 Vídeňská Street in 2021, we can specify the extension of a previously excavated area in the cadastral territory of Štýřice. A small collection of chipped stone industry and animal bones was unearthed. The form of these finds, their stratigraphic position, and a radiocarbon date retrieved from one of the animal bones enable us to connect this location with a previously excavated Epigravettian settlement, …
Can we identify any fossile directeur in the Epigravettian
In the last few years, there have been studies showing that the issue of Late Upper Palaeolithic (LUP) industries located in and around Moravia (Czech Republic) are much more complex than previously thought.Focusing on Epigravettian/Epiaurignacian and Magdalenian, one of the possible solutions is the detailed study of knapping technology.Initial studies indicated that Epigravettian units can be distinguished from the Magdalenian collections.By ap…

Investigation of heat-treated artefacts from Pleistocene sites
Heat treatment and mechanics of Moravian Jurassic cherts
Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian chronology and palaeoenvironments at Kůlna Cave, Moravia, Czech Republic
Kůlna Cave is the only site in Moravia, Czech Republic, from which large assemblages of both Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian archaeological materials have been excavated from relatively secure stratified deposits. The site therefore offers the unrivalled opportunity to explore the relationship between these two archaeological phases. In this study, we undertake radiocarbon, stable isotope (carbon, nitrogen and sulphur), and ZooMS analysis of the a…
Badatelský výzkum lokality Hošťálkovice II – Hladový vrch (okr. Ostrava-město)
We report on the first field season at the Gravettian site Hošťálkovice II. Hošťálkovice II is an important site in the region of Ostrava situated at a strategic position above the confluence of Odra and Opava Rivers. Previous surface prospections and a small test pit excavated in 1995 found evidence for a Gravettian industry, as well as younger (Neolithic?) occupation. Two archaeological layers were detected in 1995 and the documented profile wa…
Statistical and geographical modelling of Moravian (Czech Republic) Late Upper Palaeolithic occupation
Preliminary report of the 2019 excavation at Švédův Stůl Cave in the Moravian Karst
Švédův Stůl Cave in the Moravian Karst has been excavated several times since Martin Kříž started the first excavation in 1886. Two parts of the site were re-excavated in 2019. The primary aim was to conduct classical as well as innovative and experimental sedimentological and geoarchaeological investigations of sediments from the discarded spoil heap outside the cave entrance (trench C–D). Intact sediments with a small number of lithic artefacts…
Quantifying how much raw material is needed
This paper compares the quantification of different raw materials in a chipped stone assemblage by weight and by number at the site of Brno‐Štýřice III in Moravia, Czech Republic. The use of the same reduction technology for all raw materials means that the Brno‐Štýřice III assemblage is a good case study. The result demonstrates that semi‐local raw material tends to dominate numerically, but in terms of weight, there is a significant change in t…

A microwear study regarding the function of lithic tools in Moravian Epigravettian
The Epigravettian of Kůlna Cave
Several archaeological artefacts from Kůlna Cave (Blansko disctrict, Czech Republic) date its settlement to the last 250 thousand years. The stratigraphy both inside the cave and at the entrance was complicated, so that macroscopically similar sediments may have comprised of Magdalenian, Gravettian, and Micoquian industries. The first radiocarbon dates surprisingly showed one Epigravettian date, obtained from an animal bone from layer 5, supposed…

The Middle-Upper Palaeolithic transition in Moravia in the context of the Middle Danube region
New Chronological Evidence for the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic Transition in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
We report new optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates from the Central European sites of Kůlna, Stránská skála, Bohunice, Vedrovice V, Vedrovice Ia, Moravský Krumlov IV and Dzeravá skala, which date to the Middle–Upper Palaeolithic transition period. There are important unresolved questions surrounding the timing of archaeological events during this crucial period in European prehistory. Archaeological layers from this time period are at th…

New information augmenting the picture of local environment at the LGM/LGT in the context of the Middle Danube region
Records of occupation by humans in the period following shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 ± 2 kyr cal. BP) are still very rare in Central Europe, since it is inferred that the extreme climatic conditions caused the decolonisation of previously settled areas. Our study focuses on the reconstruction of environmental conditions in the surroundings of the open-air Palaeolithic site, Brno-Štýřice III, which falls within this period. The …

Did heat treatment of flints take place in the Moravian Magdalenian? The case of Balcarka Cave
Experimental Heating of Moravian Cherts and its Implication for Palaeolithic Chipped Stone Assemblages
The applicability of colour, magnetic susceptibility and remanent magnetization measurements for the identification of heated or accidentally burned Palaeolithic cherts from Moravia (Czech Republic) is tested in this study. We conclude that all these methods are usable. Colour changes are best detectable in materials heated at between 250–350°C, while magnetic susceptibility and remanent magnetization change at higher temperatures, closer to 600°…
