Human remains from the Moravian Gravettian: Morphology and taphonomy of isolated elements from the Dolní Věstonice II site.

Original language description

The excavation and paleoanthropological analysis of the early Upper Paleolithic site of Dolní Vestonice II has yielded a series of incomplete and isolated human remains, comprising cranial vault remains, teeth (including a series from an infant), ribs, arm bones, hand phalanges, leg bones, tarsals, metatarsals and pedal phalanges. Morphologically and morphometrically the elements are similar to those from buried individuals at Dolní Vestonice I and II and Pavlov I, as well as to other European early Upper Paleolithic human remains. They differ principally in the narrowness of the deciduous molars and the high percent cortical areas of the distal humerus and femur. The infant's teeth may well derive from a undisturbed burial with in situ bone destruction. Preservation and damage patterns of the other elements suggests that the original bodies were processed by some combination of scavenging agents and that the original number of burials at Dolní Věstonice II may originally have been gre
