Abstract / Description of output
An overview of the archaeological evidence from the Mesolithic site of Icoana in the Iron Gates gorge is presented, with emphasis on the human burials. The chronological implications of a new series of AMS 14C dates on red deer antler and human bone are discussed, and the burial evidence is compared with that from other Mesolithic sites in the region.
