Recent Vertebrate Animal Bones (Animalia: Vertebrata) from Yubileyna Cave (Rhodopes Mountain, South Bulgaria)
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Excavations (area of 50 x 50 cm and 20 cm depth) at about 15 m from the cave entrance revealed various vertebrate fauna. As individual numbers the mammals and the frogs predominated as bone remains. All other taxa were with low percent of occurrence. The trogloxenic species dominated than the troglophilic. Considering the cave characteristics and the taxonomical identity of the bones we proposed two main ways of bone accumulation in this cave in recent times.
