TABLE 1. Results of absolute dating methods for various layers of Biśnik Cave (Cyrek et al., 2010; Van Asperen and Stefaniak, 2011). EU=Early Uptake model; LU=Linear Uptake model (Pike and Hedges, 2001). (PDF format)
TABLE 2. Bird remains identified in layers 19–8 (fauna complexes IX–V) in Biśnik Cave. Categories of habitat (see Material and Methods): A, amphibious; E, ecotone; F, forest; O, open; T, tundra. To exclude double counting of remains, before computing the minimum number of individuals (MNI) for mixed complexes it was always checked whether the remains from mixed sediments may have belonged to birds from layers with well-defined stratigraphy. (PDF format)
