Late Mousterian in Dalmatia – some recent data

During 1990s and early 2000s systematic excavation have been conducted on the Late Mousterian site Mujina Cave when first radiometric dates have been obtained for Dalmatian Mousterian. Since 2013 new intensive fieldwork have been started in the frame of the project Late Mousterian in the eastern Adriatic – towards understanding of late Neanderthals identity and their demise (funded by Croatian Science Foundation). Main goal of the project is to get chronological frame for Dalmatian Mousterian and document diverse use of landscape. Here we present current research from north and central Dalmatia from different sites. New radiocarbon dates from Velika pećina in Kličevica support quite late presence of Neanderthals in Dalmatia but also raise some questions.
