Divje babe I, Potočka zijalka

 

out of print

The Slovenian Paleolithic has left two outstanding sites of European importance, the cave sites Divje babe I and Potočka zijalka. The supplement each other and each is famous for an unique find: Divje babe I is primarily important for the oldest, for the moment suspected, flute and Potočka zijalka for the oldest needle. Both artefacts are among the basic advances of mankind, and still serve their purpose in a slightly changed form, although long tens of millennia have passed since their brilliant invention.
