With Sibylle Wolf and Benjamin Schürch

The Swabian Aurignacian (ca. 42,000 – 35,000 years before present) is especially known for the figurative artworks and personal ornaments made from mammoth ivory, as well as the early musical instruments made from mammoth ivory and bird bones. These finds belong to the UNESCO World Heritage sites “Caves and Ice Age Art of the Swabian Jura.” We know these artefacts since the excavations conducted by Gustav Riek in 1931 in the Vogelherd Cave in the Lone Valley. Until today, prehistorians carry out excavations in the Ach and Lone Valley sites. Here, we present the latest highlights of the Hohle Fels excavations as well as new research on the prehistoric assemblage of Vogelherd.
