| Description | Paleoanthropological materials from Předmostí were recovered by J. Wankel in 1884, K.J. Maška in 1894, M. Kříž in 1895 and K. Absolon in 1928 (and probably 1930). The aim of this initial study was to create a list of the paleoanthropological finds from Předmostí according their discovery dates and to place them into the spatial context of the site in general and the burial area in detail. We propose that a long-term tendency to deposit dead bodies outside the settlement centers, „below the rock“, could result in an accumulation of human remains at one place, where they were opened to various postdepositional processes. |
