Summary
| Description |
English: Engraving on a mammoth tusk perhaps representing a “map”, Pavlov (Břeclav DIstrict, Southern Moravia, Chech Republic), deposited in ArÚ AVČR Brno. Gravettian. Original. Length 37 cm. Temporary exhibition the Mammoth hunters in the NM Prague. The Pavlovské Hills were created by the arches at top right. In the foothills, the Pavlov settlement appears to have been marked by a circle, while a wavy pattern at the bottom is thought to have symbolized the meanders of the River Dyje. This engraving may well be the oldest known representation of a landscape. Excavation under B. Klíma.
Deutsch: Die 1962 gefundene abgebrochene Spitze eines Mammut-Stoßzahns ist mit einer Gravur versehen, bei der es sich um eine Abbildung der umgebenden Landschaft des Jägerlagers Pavlov I handeln könnte. Die vier verschiedenen Muster dieser stilisierten „ersten Landkarte“ können z. B. als Erosionsrinnen der Pollauer Berge und mäandrierender Flusslauf der Thaya interpretiert werden, der Lagerplatz selbst ist möglicherweise durch zwei konzentrische Kreise dargestellt. |
