Abstract

This paper presents the results of the multidisciplinary studies on some structures and substructures found during the recent excavations in the Epigravettian layers of Grotta del Romito (Cosenza, Calbria, Southern Italy). In this paper the authors describe the structures (large and little pits, a stone bank), the specimens (tools, faunal remains and stones) found in the same structures and discuss the hypothesis of their functional or symbolic meaning. This paper contributes to the knowledge of the function of the Upper Palaeolithic structures, still little studied in Italy, and exposes the difficulty in understanding and interpreting these findings.
