One ring to interpret. Bone ring-type adornment from the Epigravettian site Bratčice (Moravia, Czech Republic).

The newly excavated site of Bratčice III (South Moravia, Czech Republic) represents a lesser-known Late Upper Palaeolithic site in Moravia. According to the stratigraphy, the overall character of the lithic assemblage and the 14C date, the site is associated with the Epigravettian. A unique find - a personal adornment found probably in context of the Epigravettian finds - can be understood as the first evidence of this kind of mobile art during the Late Upper Palaeolithic. The detailed study of the finds from Bratčice III is presented here. The special focus is placed on the study of personal adornment to evaluate this find and place it in a wider geographic context.
