At first look, the archaeological list of Moravia has been particularly noticeable within the Anglophone international. Bits and items of this checklist have time and again made headlines in either the overall and the really expert press for just about a century. First, it used to be the invention of a mass grave of a few 21 members stumbled on on the top Paleolithic web site of Pfedmosti, then the oldest facts for ceramic expertise said within the first area of this century within the Illustrated London information. in a while, the positioning of Petfkovice, relationship a few 23,000 B. P. , produced facts for the oldest burning of coal for gas, whereas extra lately the hot York occasions expert us that imprints in clay at Pavlov I attest to the oldest proof for the making and use of textiles. This record of cultural suggestions documented from Moravia might be accelerated to incorporate using flooring stone know-how to make stone pendants (e. g. , at Pfedmosti), oflarge ground-stone jewelry whose use continues to be enigmatic (e. g. , at Bmo II, Predmosti, and Pavlov I)-but which if present in newer contexts could go as querns-as good as of attainable needles (again at Predmosti).

Their paleontological correlation, as well as their absolute chronology, still remain problematic, since this time span lies out of the range of C-14 dating. Concerning the environmental conditions of the hunters-gatherers, this time span is highly important, since it provided favorable life conditions: easily penetrable landscape, where steppes alternated with open woodland of taiga and temporarily even of a warmer character, which extended into the submontane belt. A relatively luxuriant vegetation with species-rich biocenoses covered the valley floors, where eutrophic wetlands were often found.
This loess deposition was interrupted by climatic oscillations which were moister and more balanced, but not warmer. Interpleniglacial intervals, which could be correlated with such oscillations as, for instance, Hengelo, have not been identified more precisely in this area of Moravia so far (Lozek, 1980a). By contrast, the interval represented by the soils of PK I corresponds, without doubt, to the Stillfried B in Austria, 1 which can be correlated with the interstadials of Arcy and Maisieres in France or of Denekamp in North Europe.
The Elster glaciation sensu lato can be subdivided into two phases: the older Opava and the younger Kravafe glaciations. The first one did not obviously penetrate as far as the Odra Gate (tributary of the Moravian Gate), but its meltwaters were drained by the Becva River to the Danube. Deposits of the Kravare glaciation occur both in the Odra Gate and in the foothills of the Beskydy Mountains. Both glaciation phases were probably separated by a marked warm oscillation. The following Saale glaciation can also be subdivided into two phases: the Palhanec and the Oldhsov glaciations.
