Contribution of Divje babe I (Slovenia) to the chronology of the Late Pleistocene between the Alps and the Dinarids

Abstract

The contribution discusses the chronology of the Late Pleistocene (MIS 5-3, ”isotope stage” 5-3) on the basis of Palaeolithic cave sites. The main stress of the article is methodology and field techniques. The first part provides a critical review of the situation until 1990, when the author took over leadership of Palaeolithic research. The second part presents a new chronology and relevant stratotypes of the Divje babe I site. Stratotype MIS 3 is best represented. Using chronometry and climatochronology, the site is also compared with other stratotypes of the Würm glaciation.

Keywords: Divje babe I, Slovenia, sedimentology, geochemistry, chronology, Late Pleistocene, MIS 3
