Abstract

Animal bones from the excavation Dolní Věstonice IIa were studied. A number of bones and teeth from mammoth, reindeer, wolf, bison, horse, lion and wild cat was excavated. Some of them were found in a fireplace, others were crushed by palaeolithic people. It can be deduced from a semierupted premolar of a young lion that this site was settled some time between September and June.
