The earliest people who lived here some 30,000 years ago produced tools crafted from stone and bone and carved elaborate animal and human figurines fashioned of mammoth ivory and sculptures of fired clay, including the famous \"Venus of Doln  Věstonice,\" one of the oldest known ceramic artifacts in the world. Interestingly, novelist Jean M. Auel took much of the inspiration for her popular novel, \u003ci\u003eClan of the Cave Bear\u003c\/i\u003e, from the discoveries at Doln  Věstonice-Pavlov.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated throughout, including beautiful color renderings of scenes from Paleolithic life suggested by Svoboda's research, this first English translation of\u003ci\u003e Doln  Věstonice-Pavlov: Explaining Paleolithic Settlements in Central Europe\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to provide not only vital information for scholars, researchers, and students but also insightful and thought-provoking background for interested general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jirí A.
