Sažetak
The article presents evidence about the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle to Upper Palaeolithictransition interval in the karst area of the Danube Gorges in the Lower Danube Basin. We review the extant data andpresent new evidence from two recently investigated sites found on the Serbian side of the Danube River – TabulaTraiana and DubočkaKozja caves. The two sites have yielded layers dating to both the Middle and UpperPalaeolithic and have been investigated by the application of modern standards of excavation and recovery alongwith a suite of stateoftheart analytical procedures. The presentation focuses on micromorphological analyses of thecaves’ sediments, characterisation of cryptotephra, a suite of new radiometric dates (accelerator mass spectrometryand optically stimulated luminescence) as well as proteomics (zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry) and stableisotope data in discerning patterns of human occupation of these locales over the long term.
