摘要: Abstract The Crimean Mountains are well known from the abundance of Middle and Late Palaeolithic sites palaeontological remains recovered cultural layers in caves rockshelters. fossil-bearing deposits Emine-Bair-Khosar Cave, located at elevation 1000 m on Chatyrdag Plateau, yielded a very diverse numerous vertebrate that widen knowledge Pleistocene faunal diversity Crimea. assemblage comprised total almost 50 species vertebrates. Studies included geomorphological, geological stratigraphic analyses as AMS 14C dating. Faunal were present ten sites. main bone accumulation (section Ba2) was deposited during Valdai or Vytachiv (MIS 3) interstadial, including long time gap, to end Holocene. Comparison fauna with faunas other showed remarkable stability composition frequency whole MIS 3 interstadial. Steppe open-country dominated compared assemblages, while boreal-tundra far less numerous. Inhabitants forests, red deer some rodents, stable members fossil assemblages.
