Ursus arctos on lombardian prealps : The natural trap of cima Paradiso Cave (Campo dei fiori, Varese)
367 bones of Ursus arctos were collected in Cima Paradiso Cave (Campo dei Fiori, Varese) in 1989. These finds represent an extraordinary discovery because of the rarity of brown bear remains studied from Italian caves. The occurrence of these bones is due to the conformation of the cave, in particul...
