Large mammals and Neanderthal paleoécology in the Altai mountains (Central Asia, Russia)
p. 49-66
Résumé
Analysis of large mammal bone assemblages from the Mousterian sites of Denisova Cave and the Ust‑Karakol 1 open‑air locality in the Altai region of central Asia revealed that they were accumulated both by ancient people and nonhuman predators. The latter appear to have played a greater role in accumulating bones in the cave than at the open‑air site. The results indicate that Mousterian humans probably were capable of actively hunting large and medium mammals.
