%0 Book %D 2003 %T Stránská skála: Origins of the Upper Paleolithic in the Brno Basin, Moravia, Czech Republic %A Jirí Svoboda and Ofer Bar-Yosef %X

In this volume, an international and interdisciplinary team of scholars—Czech and American archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, geologists, and biologists—report on the results of the investigations from 1980 through the 1990s at Stránská skála, a complex of open-air loess sites on the outskirts of the Brno Basin in the Czech Republic.

The volume presents in-depth studies of the geology, paleopedology, frost processes, vegetation, fauna, and archaeological features of Stránská skála that break new ground in our understanding of early modern humans in central Europe.
