Hunting strategies in Late Pleistocene Landscapes. Case of the Middle Danube Basin
Original language description
Hunting strategies in Late Pleistocene Landscapes. Case of the Middle Danube Basin. Landscape geomorphology, occurence of animal herds, and optimal hunting strategies are causaly related. This presentation combines patterns of the Late Pleistocene landscape in the Middle Danube basin (central Europe) with records of settlement archaeology and archaeozoology. Spatial distribution of various types of hunter´s sites (including the large mega-sites) and extensive mammoth bone deposits within the Dolní Věstonice-Pavlov area is correlated with the river valley geomorphology and used to address the hotly debated questions of Gravettian mammoth hunting and its efficiency. Location of a later site under the rock cliff at Stránská skála IV is presented as an example of Epigravettian horse hunting site. Finally, the paper examines some complex patterns engraved on mammoth tusks (Pavlov, Předmostí) as possible „field maps“, also related to optimal hunting strategies and planning.
