Stránská Skála: Origins of the Upper Paleolithic in the Brno Basin, Moravia, Czech Republic

by Jiri A. Svoboda

In this volume, an international and interdisciplinary team of scholars--Czech and American archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, geologists, and biologists--report on the results of the investigations from 1980 through the 1990s at Str?nsk? sk?la, a complex of open-air loess sites on the outskirts of the Brno Basin in the Czech Republic.

The volume presents in-depth studies of the geology, paleopedology, frost processes, vegetation, fauna, and archaeological features of Str?nsk? sk?la that break new ground in our understanding of early modern humans in central Europe.
