	Sexual Paradox: The Fall
		Dolni Vestonice in Czechoslovakia is a site of an encampment of mammoth hunters dating from about 30,000 years ago.
		Karel Absolon who excavated a number of the Dolni Vestonice figurines wrote that ‘sex and hunger were the two motives that influenced the entire mental life of the mammoth hunters and their productive art’, calling the phallic androgynous figurine below ‘diluvial plastic pornography’.

	The making of brown-black ceramics with LTGS in prehistory and antiquity
		At the 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1984 Symposia on Archaeometry, Joseph Davidovits showed the possibility of fabricating ceramics by Low Temperature Geopolymeric Setting between 50°C and 500°C. The results obtained with LTGS have been surprising and very interesting from the archaeological point of view, e.g.
		the fabrication of ceramic whose surface is covered by an intense fl color, identical in appearance to numerous prehistoric European ceramics (Dolni Vestonice, 25,000 B.C.) as well as Etruscan pottery of the Bucchero Nero type (630 B.C.) and Impasto marrone (650 B.C.).

	Old Wisdom
		During the excavation of the Upper Paleolithic site known as Dolní Vestonice, they found a pair of shoulder blades from a mammoth.
		Before the discovery of this woman—and, though it’s hard to believe, for a long time afterward—Ice Age shamans were imagined as members of an all-male religious community of mammoth hunters, a sort of Flintstones private club in which manhood was celebrated and the transcendental achieved by worshiping, then negating, the feminine.
		A few years later, near the shaman’s grave, Klíma discovered an earthen lodge containing a number of bone flutes and a large oven filled with nearly three thousand small pieces of baked clay.

		The raw materials were imported from distances of about 100 km (radiolarite) and more than 120 km (various "flints"); the radiolarite, the scarcer of the two, seems to have been processed more economically than the flints.
		It seems probable that the duration of the various occupations at sites like Pavlov I or Dolní Vestonice I was longer than at Pavlov II or Dolní Vestonice II.
		The Pavlovian sites are no longer regarded as large "villages," however, but rather as horizontal clusters of single settlement units, which may not be contemporary.
