ABSTRACT<br />

<strong>La</strong> macrof<strong>au</strong>ne <strong>de</strong> l'Abri Soman<br />

(Val d'Adige - Italie)*<br />

TAGUACOZZO A. & CASSOU P. F., 1993 - <strong>La</strong> macrof<strong>au</strong>ne <strong>de</strong> l'Abri Soman (Val d'Adige­<br />

Italie). [<strong>La</strong> macrof<strong>au</strong>na <strong>de</strong>I Riparo Soman (Val d'Adige - Italia)]. Preistoria Alpina, 28:<br />

181-192.<br />

Results of a study performed on the f<strong>au</strong>nal remains from the Epigravettian and Mesolithic<br />

anthropic layers of Soman shelter (Adige Valley) are presented. More than 14,000<br />

osteological remains were analyzed, most of them extremely fragmentary. About 1,400<br />

specimens were i<strong>de</strong>ntified to a specifie level. F<strong>au</strong>nal sample inclu<strong>de</strong>s numerous chamois,<br />

red <strong>de</strong>er, ibex, and a minor quantity of roe <strong>de</strong>er, <strong>au</strong>rochs, wild boar and elk; rare<br />

carnivorous (wolf, fox, linx, bear etc.), beaver; birds and fishes were also recognized.<br />

Time-related variations among f<strong>au</strong>nal associations point to substantial environmental,<br />

ecological, climatic and economical changes occurred during the Epigravettian Mesolithic<br />

transition. Present evi<strong>de</strong>nce suggests a progressive shift from a mainly cold and<br />

dry environment to a temperate and more humid wood land.<br />

Parole chiave: Val d'Adige, Epigravettiano, Mesolitico, paleoecologia, f<strong>au</strong>na.<br />

Key words: Adige Valley, Epigravettian, Mesolithic, palaeoecology, f<strong>au</strong>na.<br />
