Abstract
- The classic Upper Palaeolithic location of the Wachtberg in Krems (eastern Austria) features a multitude of exposures in a limited area of about 50,000 m 2 . In addition to Gravettian sites which have been investigated in detail in the course of recent years using modern methods, there are the records of old excavations, several documented sections, as well as a considerable number of core samples displaying heterogeneous documentation standards. This paper provides an overview of these different sources of information and aims at synthesizing the data for a comprehensive understanding of the local loess sedimentation and Palaeolithic occupation.
