Předmostí
a multilayered, loessial Upper Paleolithic settlement in the open air in Czechoslovakia, near Přerov (North Moravia). The main cultural layer measured up to 80 cm thick and contained many flint and bone tools and a huge accumulation of mammoth bones, the remains of at least 1,000 different mammoths. Works of art were also found and included a stylized depiction of a woman carved on a mammoth tusk, stylized bone figurines of mammoths and people, and geometric designs carved on bone. Also found in Předmosti was an oval-shaped grave with 20 human skeletons that are representative of a variation of the Cro-Magnon type. REFERENCESEflmenko, P. P. Pervobytnoe obshchestvo, 3rd ed.

No references found | Within the Gravettian chrono-typological framework (Svoboda 1994: 215), Pavlov VI falls into the Evolved Pavlovian stage, and into the facies or style characterised by intensive marginal retouching on flakes, blades and pointed blades and by the presence of a few microliths belonging to the so-called Predmosti style. Introduction A team of archaeologists led by Jiri Svoboda, of the Institute of Archaeology, Dolni Vestonice, and Martin Jones, of the University of Cambridge, has been excavating selected portions of the Gravettian sites of Moravia, beginning at Dolni Vestonice II in 2005 and continuing at Predmosti in 2006. This doubtful piece, which cries out for a modern study, can be compared quite convincingly to the series of very primitive ivory statuettes from the Early Upper Palaeolithic, and the one carved in a mammoth metacarpal from the Pavlovian of Predmosti in Moravia, although these are younger in date (27th millennium BP). |
