Current research on Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene in the Lim Channel, Istria, Croatia

In 2014 a project entitled „Archaeological investigations into the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene of the Lim Channel Istria“ (ARCHAEOLIM), started. The main aims of this 3 year project financed by the Croatian Science Foundation are to provide data for better understanding of a number of important issues regarding behavioral and possibly biological aspects of human groups during a time when Late Glacial hunter gatherers were forced to change and adapt to a changing environmental and other pressures. Project concentrates on the archaeological fieldwork on four sites where preliminary survey or small scale excavations yielded evidence of human occupation: Romualdova cave (Middle and Upper Paleolithic sequence), Pećina kod Rovinjskog sela 1 (Late Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic), Abri Kontija (Late Upper Paleolithic) and Lim 001 (Late Mesolithic), all in the Lim Channel. Here we provide a summary of the results of the first two excavation seasons.
