Abstract

In the early 1950s, the bones of AMH Zlatý kůň 1 were discovered alongside a small collection of artefacts deep within the Koněprusy Caves system. Modern genetic research and dating techniques have placed this individual at the beginning of the modern human penetration of Europe, around 45,000 years ago. The small artefact assemblage consisted of six pieces of chipped stone industry, seven bones bearing traces of human impacts, and foreign seashell, which originated from either the Tertiary sediments of the Alpine Foredeep or the Mediterranean Sea. While the assemblage is not significant, it does not contain typical features of the younger, more evolved Aurignacian; rather, general analogies can be found in the Lincomb-Ranis-Jerzmanowice complex, which is documented at the closely related Ranis site.
