A few weeks ago, during our Czech adventure, we had the opportunity to visit Pavlov and Dolní Věstonice.

Walking on the same ground once traversed by mammoth hunters and standing at the site where some of the most iconic Paleolithic burials in Europe were uncovered is an experience that is hard to put into words. At the foot of these hills lies one of the key landscapes for understanding Upper Paleolithic societies, their funerary practices, and their social complexity.

We would also like to thank the staff of the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Brno and the Pavlov Archaeological Park for their extraordinary generosity in sharing their knowledge, time, and enthusiasm in a way that was simply unforgettable. Excellent science, excellent people.
