Abstract

V originále

In addition to the description of 8 Moravian sites associated with mammoth bone deposits (MBD), this paper discusses the various hypotheses explaining their formation either as natural or human-influenced. Recent research records a variability in size of the deposits, but uniformity in chronology (30-20 ka), cultural association (Gravettian/Pavlovian) and spatial patterning (location along the main rivers).
