Original language description
The excavations in the Kůlna Cave yielded a quantity of archaeological finds dating from MIS 6 to MIS 2; representing an extraordinary information potential for the reconstruction of human behaviour in the context of the natural environment from the Middle Pleistocene to the beginning of the Holocene. Apart from the reconstruction of human activities that were under way in the cave, e.g. through GIS applications, the researchers analysed the seasonality and migration of the preserved fauna. Through thestudy of dental cement increments of selected individuals we tried to ascertain the season when the animals died. The results show that at various periods of time the cave served different purposes; while during the Magdalenian (layer 5) it was occupiedin spring, during the Upper Micoquian (layers 6a, 6b) it was a spring and autumn seasonal settlement, and during the Lower Micoquian (layer 7a) it was inhabited from autumn to spring. We propose that the function of the cave gradually cha
