    On the periphery of a mammoth 'kjökkenmödding'. The new excavation of the extensive bone deposit at Dolní Věstonice I

  • Original language description

    The contribution presents the first results of the recent excavation at the classic Gravettian site of Dolní Věstonice I, focused on the eastern periphery of the large mammoth bone deposit located in the site's upper part. The find layers were re-assessed to obtain new zooarchaeological material for aDNA and stable isotopes analyses, as well as samples for age determination and reconstruction of the paleoenvironment within the ERC project 'MAMBA - Exploring Mammoth Bone Accumulations In Central Europe'. The main find layer contained abundant faunal remains, lithic artefacts, charcoal fragments, and malacofauna. The site and find layer formation are complex and document a post-occupational interplay between different natural factors, including a baseline aeolian sedimentation, pedogenesis, slope processes, and permafrost features. The new excavation yielded thousands of bone, tooth, and tusk specimens belonging to animal species commonly found here during previous fieldwork and at other sites in this region, such as woolly mammoth and rhinoceros, horse, reindeer, wolf and fox. The scarce lithic material includes a few microdenticulates, which allow us to attribute this assemblage to the Pavlovian. New data were also obtained for the deposit's geomorphological setting and spatial structure.
