ABSTRACT Several new vertebrate and plant taphocoenoses of fluvial origin have been found in central Ukraine, within the area previously covered with till late Chibanian Dnipro glacier. These finds represent a timespan from glacial to Pryluky interglacial regional stratigraphic scheme Ukraine fill an important palaeofaunistic gap: arcto‐boreal species revealed for first time deposits Dnipro/Kaidaky, Tiasmyn intra‐Pryluky cold interval. Their appearance fossil record marks most extreme...
Abstract The fossil record of the cave lion, Panthera spelaea , suggests a gradual decrease in body size, process peaking just before extinction species at end Late Pleistocene. Such an evolutionary trend appears rather unusual for large felid and requires further investigation. This study reviews lions Ukraine, whose fossils are known from 46 localities dated 800 kyr to 18–17 ago, with special emphasis on size changes through time. We describe several important finds including those...
The article deals with archaeological, anthropological and archaeozoological material of the one foothill cemetery in Crimea.

Occasional marks on bricks or other architectonic composites, with their potential to unveil environmental conditions at the time of formation, attract scientific attention. The object our research is pawprints bricks, a discovery made during archaeological excavations historically significant Medzhybizh Castle (also known as Fortress), located in village Medzhybizh, Khmelnytskyi region, Ukraine. Brick, popular building material, was continually used construct palaces and residential...

Igren 8 is a settlement of hunter-gatherers the Mesolithic period. In total, 10 pit-dwellings were found, having been constructed by people Kukrek Culture (the 8th – 7th Millenia BC). The present study focuses on revising animal osteological material according to modern archaeozoological techniques. findings are related seasonal fluctuations settlement, hunting specialisation its inhabitants, and details taphonomy bones found. Moreover, group bone fragments distinguished that constituted...
