Abstract
The complexity of archaeological record from the Moravian corridor between 30,000 and 20,000 B.P. suggests a central role of this territory in frame of European hunter-gatherer's adaptations. However, the nature of this adaptation, and, especially, of the man and mammoth relationships, is not clear in the moment. This paper focuses in more detail on the mammoth images, which, together with the large carnivores, represent one of the favorite zoomorph subjects in the Gravettian art of Moravia. Due to the characteristic outline of the mammoth stature, this subject was represented in a uniform way, it became easily standardized, and also reduced. Using indirect arguments derived from settlement archaeology and comparative faunal analyses, this paper tries to place the mammoth images into a broader context of the most probable man and mammoth relationships of their time.
