Paleoreconstruction of Pleistocene Environments of Human Habitats in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene near the Charyshskii Naves Cave, Central Altai, Russia

摘要

The results of the study of the small mammal 1'auna from the Charyshskii Naves cave (Central Altai, Russia) in the 2003 field season are provided. The dynamics of fossil small mammals was studied and the natural habitats of the ancient man were reconstructed on this basis. Two stages of sedimentation, corresponding to the domination of different biotopes, were recognized.
