Milovice IV (Southern Moravia, Czech Republic): genius loci for the Upper Paleolithic settlement and hunting
Original language description
The poster presents the preliminary results of the new rescue excavation at the Upper Paleolithic site of Milovice IV, held in 2021. Comparing the previous excavation at this site, the recent excavation allows to document significant human activities again within the main cultural layer and newly extended in its overburden and subsoil. The upper finding situation belongs to the Late Gravettian period based on radiocarbon dating, a smaller collection of lithic artefacts and dispersed skeletal remains of large and extra-large mammals. The main cultural layer falls into the Evolved Pavlovian. It is presented by a rich lithic and osteological assemblage, hard animal tissue artefacts and art, Tertiary and Quaternary molluscs, ochre, charcoals, and a hearth with burned hearthstone slabs. The layer below contains older settlement activities connected to the Early Upper Paleolithic, probably Aurignacian. The amount of archaeological findings, their intensity, spatial distribution and connection to certain settlement activities, together with exploited animal species, supports the significant role played by the Milovice IV site within the complex settlement structure around the Pavlov hills.
