Avian fossil assemblages at the onset of the LGM in the Eastern Alps: a palaecological contribution from the Rio Secco Cave (Italy)
The avian fossil assemblages from the late Pleistocene deposits of the Rio Secco Cave (north-eastern Italy) is presented herein. We studied the layers that date back to the end of MIS3 and the beginning of MIS2, which also contain evidence of Gravettian frequentation dated to 33.5–30 ka cal BP. The...
