Upper Gravettian site cluster in Lubná (Czech Republic)

Original language description

Lubná is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Bohemia. With a total of 8 Gravettian sites located in a small area, it represents the greatest concentration of Upper Palaeolithic sites and has no precedent in the area. The closest analogy is the Pavlovian site cluster of Dolní Věstonice II. However, Lubná is younger, dating between 24 to 21 thousand years BP and is not so rich in material culture (Šída et al. 2009, 2015, Šída 2016).nDominating raw material are silicites of glacigenous sediments coming from north (Silesia and Saxony). In small amount we can find quartzites of north western Bohemia and Bavarian plattensilex. All sites have very low amount of cores, and this presence on sites are at high stage of exploitation. Microchips, flakes and burin spalls demonstrate the blades and tools production on sites. Tool composition is typical for gravettian with gravettian points and micro points, domination of burins and with numerous microlits. Kostenki points are missing. Specific is presence of typical pavlovian microliths in Lubná II. Art objects are almost missing – the only one piece is small pendant made of mammoth tusk coming from Lubná II. Reindeer is dominating in all faunal assemblages evaluated until now. This comes together with high elevation of sites coming to more than 350 m a.s.l. Reindeer teeth show us summer period of occupation on site Lubná I. The Lubná sites seems to be summer short time hunting camps specialised on reindeer hunting, but, in contrast, on Lubná VI we have minimum reindeer antlers what shows not summer time of occupation.
