Prehistoric settlement in Moravia.
An important prehistoric settlement in Moravia, excavated from 1884 to 1930, but the finds were lost during the 1939-1945 war. Re-excavated in the 1990s, with several burials found. Settlement assessed as a Cro-Magnon site (Gravettian toolmaking culture) from between 24 and 27,000 years ago.
There are three separate sites clustered around limestone outcroppings. Finds included burials and animals remains of both hunter's prey and their "paleo dogs." Sites in the area that can be visited include the modern "Monument to Mammoth Hunters" information signage area that appears to have been built over one of the sites and may be open allowing views of the excavation and an artistic "Well of Prehistory" monument. Limestone formations near the sites are also marked.
Note: Research indicates Paleo Dogs may have been used to transport goods, and not as hunting dogs for Mammoth Hunters. See comment.
