Mammoth hunting in north Bohemia: New Upper Paleolithic site in Ústí nad Labem
Original language description
This work presents a preliminary overview of a new Upper Paleolithic site discovered during a rescue excavation in Ústí nad Labem in northern Bohemia. The site, whose known extent covers about 1,000 m2, is located in the valley of the Klíšský Potok Stream. The excavations have uncovered a large concentration of mammoth bones, only sporadically accompanied by remains of other species, such as the woolly rhinoceros, and possibly also cervids and horses. The lithic assemblage exhibits notable raw material variability, and the presence of backed bladelets and bitruncated elements allows for a tentative attribution of the site to the Middle to Late Gravettian. As Upper Paleolithic sites are very rare in northern Bohemia, this discovery has great potential for more detailed insight into the human occupation and environmental conditions during the Upper Paleolithic in this region. As the excavation is currently still ongoing, the data and the interpretations provided here are still regarded as preliminary.
