Description
Yarımburgaz Cave
The existence of paleontological and archaeological findings point towards the use of the cave as a
human
and an
animal
habitat, alternatively.
[9]
[11]
[12]
[13]
The finds include bones of
herbivore
and
carnivore
mammals
,
[14]
marine and freshwater
molluscs
,
[15]
microfauna
as well as artifacts like
potsherds
, knives on
flint
,
oldowans
,
choppers
and
hammerstones
on
quartzite
, as well as
manuports
. The wide variety of prehistoric faunal specimens belong to bones of herbivore mammals such as cave bears (
Ursus deningeri
), horses (
Equus caballus
), wild boars (
Sus scrofa
), fallow deer (
Dama dama
), roe deer (
Capreolus capreolus
), deer (
Megaloceros
), cattle (
Bos
/
Bison
), antilopes (
Gazella
), goats (
Capra
), and carnivores such as wolves and dogs (
Canis
), foxes (
Vulpes
), tigers (
Panthera
), cats (
Felis
) and hyenas (
Crocuta
).
[1]
Findings of "more than 5000 fossil bones and teeth of cave and brown bears", which provide some chronological indicators, led to their extensive scientific study.
[11]
[15]
[16]
[17]
[18]
Another subject of such extensive study were the fossils of several species of
Middle Pleistocene
bats (
Chiroptera
), including horseshoe bats (
Rhinolophus
), mouse-eared bats (
Myotis
), long-eared bats (
Plecotus
) and bent-winged bats (
Miniopterus
).
