spelaeus group). Based on morphometrics and the evolutionary levels of the teeth, the remains are ascribed

to Ursus ingressus Rabeder & al. 2004. Two bone samples dated using radiocarbon-AMS provided the rst

absolute dates from the Arzberg Cave and revealed that the cave bear used this cave between at least 29,000

and 36,000 years BP.

The lithic artefact which was found in the new excavation area 9 looks like the old nd from 1995. Accord-

ing to available radiometric age data, the cave bear remains and the typology of the artefact should be as-

signed to the Aurignacian. We can denitely add the Arzberg Cave to the list of the Upper Palaeolithic

Alpine caves.

The present appearance of the cave entrances were heavily inuenced by the last Glacial Maximum. Thus,

not only the vertical wall was revised, but also former entrances were eroded by the glacier.

Another interesting feature is the presence of numerous polished rocks along passages in the upper gallery,

interpreted as Bärenschliffe (Trimmel 1947, Plan et al. 2009b). Further investigations on the Bärenschliffe

show that the cave bears and probably Palaeolithic man used the “old entrance” (4) and the upper passages

to enter the cave.

Small artifact assemblages in the Middle Paleolithic of the southern Balkans: „Micromousterian“

at the site of Bioče (Montenegro)

Late Middle Paleolithic of the southern Balkan region (Croatia, Montenegro, Greece) is characterized by the

industries that are usually named „Micromousterian“, whose main feature is small artifact size. Even though

Middle Paleolithic industries with small artifact sizes have been recognized across Europe, North Africa and

the Near East, there is no consensus on the factors that lead to forming these industries. These factors may

include the absence of larger local raw materials, intensive utilization of lithic resources, as well as the inten-

tional production of small blanks and tools through the independent technological process. The main disa-

greement about these industries revolves around the question of intentionality of small-ake and small-tool

production. The small-sized industries of the coastal areas of the Balkan peninsula were so far interpreted

either as a consequence of the small size of locally available raw materials, by analogy with the near-by Pon-

tinian industries

, or as intentional production of small blanks and tools even when larger nodules were lo-

cally available, as in the case of some „Micromousterian“ industries in Greece

This poster will present the analysis of the lithic industry from the site of Bioče in Montenegro, one of the

sites described as belonging to „Micromousterian“. In order to better understand the factors that formed
