Where: Italy (45.5° N, 11.6° E: paleocoordinates 45.5° N, 11.6° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• The cave provided one radiocarbon date on an Ursus spelaeus rib, coming from the lower portion of Layer 1, which gave a conventional age of 29,001 ± 123 14C BP (33,597 to 32,844 cal. BP). Thus, the deposits in situ of the Buso Doppio del Broion Cave, below the upper reworked sediments, represent a time span including the end of MIS 3 and the onset of the LGM

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: cave; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Repository: Sezione di Scienze Preistoriche e Antropologiche of the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici of the University of Ferrara
