“…They were also favourable to the eagle owls (Bubo bubo). As has been shown earlier (Lorenc 2006b), bird bones found in the cave deposits (making seventeen of the above twenty-one samples) are mostly the remains of prey of these owls. The same conclusions could have been drawn from the radiocarbon ages revealed by bone samples from other caves of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.…”

ABSTRACT:Lorenc, M. 2013. Radiocarbon ages of bones from Vistulian (Weichselian) cave deposits in Poland and their stratigraphy. Acta Geologica Polonica, 63 (3), 399−424. Warszawa.Twenty-six bone samples from cave sediments mainly of Vistulian (Weichselian) age were radiocarbon (AMS) dated. The material comes from seven localities in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland and in Podhale (southern Poland). These are: the Komarowa Cave, the Deszczowa Cave, the Upper Rock Shelter of the Deszczowa Cave, the cave in Dziadowa Skała, the Sąspowska Zachodnia Cave, the Mamutowa Cave and the Obłazowa Cave. The obtained radiocarbon ages of most of the samples differs from their stratigraphy as formerly proposed. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. Also examined were the radiocarbon ages of bones from other caves in the study area. Most of the dated bones are shown to have come from relatively short time periods. The existing data on radiocarbon age of bones from Vistulian cave deposits of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland and Podhale are summarized.

“…Otro punto importante a tener en cuenta cuando indagamos acerca del origen de la acumulación de microvertebrados es estudiar la composición taxonómica del conjunto fósil, para observar si existen similitudes con los conjuntos de depredadores previamente conocidos (Worthy, 2001;Lorenc, 2006). El conjunto de aves representado en el sitio arqueológico LS-3, mostró predominancia de Passeriformes, y entre ellos, destacamos la presencia de ciertas especies que habitualmente son consumidas por T. alba, como Z. capensis, P. fruticeti y U. dumetaria (Noriega et al, 1990(Noriega et al, , 1993) y especies de los géneros Cinclodes y Asthenes que fueron halladas en las egagrópilas de T. alba analizadas en este trabajo (Tabla 7.90).…”

Microvertebrados del Holoceno de sitios arqueológicos en el sur de Mendoza (República Argentina): aspectos tafonómicos y sus implicancias en la subsistencia humana

Se estudiaron los ensambles de microvertebrados recuperados de nueve sitios arqueológicos del sur de Mendoza. A partir de un análisis tafonómico exhaustivo, se pudo concluir que las aves rapaces fueron los principales agentes acumuladores de los microvertebrados. El registro aislado de marcas de corte en una tibia de un roedor cávido, en un lapso de la secuencia de un sitio cordillerano (1380-770 14C años AP), indicó una débil señal de consumo antrópico sobre los microvertebrados. Por ende, no alcanza para defender un uso sistemático de los mismos, tal como se hubiera esperado dadas las expectativas del modelo de intensificación de los recursos, planteado para el sur de Mendoza desde el 2000 AP. El proceso de intensificación pudo no haber sido tan marcado como para que los cazadores-recolectores del sur de Mendoza tuvieran que explotar este tipo de recurso sostenidamente, como fuera probado en otras regiones de Argentina (e.g. Pampeana, Central y Patagónica). Finalmente, las muestras arqueológicas exhibieron una marcada estabilidad taxonómica con algunas variaciones hacia el Holoceno tardío final, que podrían relacionarse con el evento climático ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation), como fue señalado en publicaciones previas, en base a otros indicadores paleoambientales (e.g. polínicos, glaciológicos, sedimentológicos, dendrológicos y malacológicos).

The results of a comprehensive study of Pleistocene fish‐bearing localities from the territory of Poland are presented. Fish remains came from lacustrine deposits and cave sites representing a time‐span from the late Early Pleistocene until the Early Holocene. Here we present the taxonomic composition and species diversity of all known fish assemblages from Poland. In total, 23 species belonging to 20 genera of eight families were identified. Cyprinids were the most taxonomically diverse, followed by salmonids and percids. Other families were each represented only by a single species. The roach, rudd, bream, pike and perch were the most common components of the Pleistocene fish assemblages of Poland. These assemblages are clearly divided into two groups representing palaeolakes and cave sites. A significant taxonomic similarity is observed between fish assemblages from Poland and those of Chibanian and Late Pleistocene ages from central and eastern Europe. Pleistocene environments and climates of Poland are characterized using a multi‐proxy approach (analysis of stable isotopes, plant macro‐remains, pollen, molluscs and cladocerans). Obtained data allowed us to estimate a number of parameters of Pleistocene water bodies of the Polish Lowland (reservoir type, trophism, oxygen content, depth and water level changes, bottom character, and flow speed). The formation of freshwater fish assemblages was influenced by dynamic changes in the hydrographic network, and climatic changes during the Pleistocene and Holocene. Their development was favoured by the formation of lakes after melting of the ice sheet.
