Abstract

V originále

Osseous industry is one of the most distinctive features of Pavlovian material culture. From the time of the first discoveries it has been apparent that hard animal tissues played a crucial role in the technological and socio-cultural strategies of Pavlovian hunter-gatherers. Nevertheless, this informational potential was never fully exploited. Although the original typological nomenclature of the Pavlovian bone and antler industry was based on functionally influenced terminology (terms such as „smoother“, „antler pronghoe“ etc.), the real function of these tools was neither specified nor demonstrated. Hard animal tissues were intensively utilized for the manufacture of a variety of artifacts from the so-called „domesticated tools“ to hunting weapons. Typological representation of these objects vary from site to site. The typological structure of an assemblage gives us an idea about activities performed at the site. Spatula-like tools and other artifacts have been attributed with the function of processing hide based on ethnological analogies. They occur at large Pavlovian settlements such as Dolní Věstonice and Pavlov in large quantities which gave us the impetus to embark on a detailed study of this material. A multidisciplinary approach of anthropological zooarchaeology utilizes knowledge from the fields of anthropology, archaeology, zoology as well as ethnology and presents a broader outlook in terms of interpretations. Combining those pieces of information with other analyses, a more complex picture of Pavlovian lifeways emerges.
