Since 1924, the sites of the Dolní Věstonice-Pavlov area, located on slopes of the Pavlov Hills in south Moravia (Czech Republic), have been continuously excavated. Their central place on the map of Upper Palaeolithic Eurasia has been recognized since soon after the first series of reports by Absolon. More recently, Klíma and Svoboda have reported on discoveries of early modern human burials, all in ritual contexts, Pamela Vandiver et al. on the origins of ceramic technology, Sarah L. Mason et al. and Anna Revedin et al. on evidence of plant consumption and James M. Adovasio et al. on earliest fibre technologies and origins of textiles. Palaeogenetical research of the recovered human fossils is currently in process. These discoveries have greatly expanded the previous knowledge about early modern human adaptations, lifestyles and technologies in the newly colonized Eurasian zone. The new evidence is emerging continuously, both in the field and in laboratories, through multidisciplinary and international projects involving anthropology, palaeoethnology, geology, palaeoecology, genetics and a number of other disciplines. One of the current goals is to preserve these sites in the field and present them to the public in exhibits, in a way corresponding to their scientific value.
