HUNTED MAMMALS IN THE ISTÁLLÓSKC5 CAVE 11 Layer IV — yellowish brown loessy clay, with microfauna.

4 Within this layer was the "big hearth" in the middle part of the cave as well as other local minor hearths observed as spots. Layer III sedimentary complex,

5 with three — lower, middle and upper culture and hearth levels. Microfauna also exists, here "Upper culture layer" — "UCL". Layer II — dark brown "lower microfauna startum". It tapers toward the middle part of the cave." There is a hiatus between Layer II and Layer I below it. Layer I — light brown clay, with two — lower and upper — culture and hearth levels without microfauna." The so-called "Lower culture layer" — "LCL".

Vértes who made the last excavations in the cave and investigated its material determined the Palaeolithic material of "Lower Culture Layer" as. "Middle European Aurignacian I (Au

I)" and the finds of the "Upper Culture Layer" and of Layers IV

—V as "Middle European Aurignacian II (Au

—II)".
