	Dolni Vestonice and the Three Sisters
		In 1986, near a village called Dolni Vestonice in the Czech province of Moravia, the bodies of three teenagers were discovered in a common grave.
		Dolni Vestonice was an Upper Paleolithic habitation in Czechoslovakia on a swamp at the joint of two rivers near the Moravian mountains.
		A consideration of the postmortem damage on the isolated human remains from the Dolni Vestonice II site indicates that geological processes (other than sediment compaction and minor erosion) are unlikely to have produced the taphonomic patterns observed, but that human and/or carnivore processing of the bodies were responsible for the observed distribution.

		A child buried at Dolni Vestonice III had a necklace of twenty-seven pierced fox teeth; the skull area was covered with red ochre, and the whole burial lay beneath mammoth shoulder blades.
		Klima believes that Dolni Vestonice was occupied specifically for mammoth hunting, and that with as many as twenty to twenty-five people per hut, and a postulated five or six huts being occupied at a time on the site, the occupants may have been 100-120 strong.

		Dolni Vestonice, Czechoslovakia - a child burial with a necklace of 27 pierced fox teeth, the skull area covered with red ochre and the whole burial below complete mammoth shoulder blades.
		At Skara Brae, the settlement contained the burials of two women in a house which was set apart from the rest and may have been a confinement place for women during menstruation.
		Settlements of this period are difficult to identify, perhaps suggesting a transitory lifestyle with sacred areas as meeting places.

		In its basic topic (architecture and settlement), in its globally broad outlook and in some of its methods (ethno-pre-history), Wilson's study is similar to our approach ("architecture and habitat anthropology").
		Further, his definition of the house as an evolved construction and part of a permanent settlement covers up the fact that both the architectural and the habitat component are part of an evolutionary process which has much deeper roots ("constructivity", Yerkes 1929).
		His most important thesis, namely that settlement and architecture "impose conditions on living that provide a basic spatial structure" is valid also for nestbuilding and the temporary night camps of the great apes (which he only mentions casually!).

		Throughout its Gravettian period occupation, the western part of the shelter was used for ordinary settlement activities.
		The particular location selected took advantage of a small recess in the back wall of the shelter that, at the time of burial, created a protective overhang almost at ground level, forming a kind of natural niche ready-made to receive the body of the child that archaeologists eventually catalogued as fossil LV1.

		The skulls of the young people were encircled with necklaces of teeth of Arctic seals and foxes, and had been covered of red ocher, which also covered the zone in which the hands of the two men touched the body of the woman.
		Near such civilization a cult of the fertilizing forces of the nature was diffused, in parallelism to those human, inspired to a religious relationship between the fertility of the earth and that human.

		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.

		M oravian and Slovak archaeologists seized the opportunity of Czech Television making a documentary series on prehistory to test 5 possible reconstruction of Palaeolithic dwellings based on the finds from Dolni Vestonice, Pavlov (both Moravia) and Mezin (Ukraine).
		They built a summer tent (the only structure with an outside hearth), a teepee with an entrance passage (named after its similarity to real teepees), a domed shaped dwelling, a flat roof dwelling (the only sunken dwelling based on a find from Dolni Vestonice) and a more complex structure similar to a yurt.
		This time the site was occupied and they observed and recorded the usage of the "settlement" area.

		Around the settlement more people hunted less resource because their territories were much smaller and closer together (ibid.: 41-42).
		As more and more people moved into the settlement the people began to realize their leaders were rarely people that had lived off of the land.
		After studying evidence from Dolni Vestonice and a neighboring site of Pavlov, Czech Republic, she proposed that human survival in these areas during the Upper Paleolithic had little to do with men hunting large game, as previously determined (Pringle 62).

	'Venus' Figurines in Prehistoric Europe
		As well as representations of ‘Venus’ figurines carved from various materials such as ivory or limestone there is also evidence of the production and firing of ceramics.
		Fired figurines made from clay and pulverised bone has been found at one famous site, Dolni Vestonice (White, 1993; Gamble, 1986:324; Vandiver et al 1993: 259-272).
		The astounding discovery that 99.9% of these ‘Vestonice’ figurines were broken has led some theorists to believe that remnants and rejects of production may have been left at the kilns or that the sites indicate a ceramic waste disposal area (Absolon & Klima, 1974, cited in Vandiver et al, 1993: 272).
