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.
