| Description | Direct dating by radiocarbon confirmes the Aeneolithic age of geometric patterns on walls of the Býčí skála Cave, Moravian Karst. However a Palaeolithic age of other paintings and torch traces in other eastern Central European caves remains possible and will make object of further research. In addition, the paper discusses a variety of rituals performed in deep cavities during the Neolithic/Aeneolithic period in the Middle Danube region. |
