Mammoths in Ústí nad Labem! Come along to the Department of Biology’s next seminar

Today’s lecture, part of a series of seminars organised by the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, UJEP, will present a significant archaeological discovery at Bukov in Ústí nad Labem. You will learn what the site of the mammoth hunters has revealed and how it contributes to our understanding of the lives of our ancestors during the Stone Age. The lecture has been rescheduled to 14:30.

The archaeological site at Bukov is one of the most extraordinary discoveries not only within the Czech Republic but also in a European context. Research there has uncovered the remains of at least 21 woolly mammoths and other Pleistocene animals, as well as stone tools and hearths. This uniquely well-preserved site offers a rare insight into the lives of mammoth hunters some 26,000 years ago.

Mgr. Dominik Chlachula, Mgr. Petr Lissek and a team from the Institute for the Archaeological Conservation of North-Western Bohemia and the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno will discuss the results of the archaeological research and its significance for our understanding of the lives of our ancestors.

The lecture is part of a series of seminars organised by the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, UJEP, which showcases experts and their research. We warmly invite not only biology students, but also students from other disciplines, academic staff and anyone else who is interested.
