Předmostí u Přerova (archaeological site)

A fossil site at Předmostí is located near Přerov in the country Moravia of what is today the Czech Republic.

The skeletal remains of the few dozen people from Předmostí are among the most important finds ever made of anatomically modern humans, and are accompanied by items from the Gravettian culture.

A major restriction on the opportunities available for extracting information from this Upper Paleolitic population assembly, however, came with the irreparable damage done to the skeletal material during fire at Mikulov Castle near the end of the World War II, which almost completely destroyed the entire collection.

Other remains include fox, reindeer, ice-age horse, wolf, bear, wolverine, and hare.

Skulls of Předmostí individuals are significantly longer and more robust than of modern Europeans, with thick brow ridges, and prognathism, and show marked sexual dimorphism.
