Abstract:

The paper analyses bird remains from Klisoura Cave, Eastern Peloponnese, Greece. The 449 remains belong to 10 taxa, of which two species Rock Partridge Alectoris graeca and Great Bustard Otis tarda clearly predominate. Traces of burning and the archaeological setting indicate that the bones were deposited by humans.
