Biokulturalni aspekti epigravetijenske okupacije sloja B/S nalazišta Šandalja II
Biokultural aspects of the Epigravettian occupation of the layer B/S Šandalja II

Summary/Abstract: The Šandalja II site has a crucial role in the research of various issues related to the Upper Paleolithic occupation of the eastern Adriatic coast. It is the only Epigravettian site in Croatia that has yielded skeletal remains of at least three individuals found in association with numerous Late Upper Paleolithic (Epigravettian) tools and animal bones. Analyses of the Šandalja material add to our understanding of the morphological and behavioural patterns of the Late Upper Paleolithic inhabitants of this region.Further, it provides us with a basis for comparison with not only contemporary humans of the Italian coastal region, which in the Late Pleistocene formed a single ecological zone with the Croatian coast, but also with Upper Paleolithic humans from other adjacent regions, which belonged to different ecological zones.
