Contents
In the first part of the Divje babe I monograph, data from the fields of the
natural sciences are presented, analysed and interpreted. This is primarily
stratigraphic, sedimentological and chronological data and data about the remains
of flora and fauna. The latter includes detailed analysis of charcoal from a
number of hearths and the remains of small and large mammals, with an emphasis on cave
bear. The series of absolute ESR datings and the climatogram of the site should
be highlighted in particular, which shows the course of temperature and humidity
by layers in the chronozone of the Early and Middle Würm or oxygen isotope
stages OIS 5 and OIS 3. The remains of flora and fauna from OIS 3 in particular
are analysed, which enables new insight into palaeo-environmental and climatic
conditions of this poorly known chronological segment in Slovenia and
neighbouring regions. Archaeological finds, including Mousterian bone artefacts,
will be presented in the planned second part of the monograph.
