• Předmostí The largest cluster of Gravettian human remains in one place, a central burial area opened in 1894 and often covered, in this culture, by mammoth shoulder blades. Most of the bones were destroyed in 1945.
• The Venus of Dolní Věstonice A fired-clay woman’s figure from a Gravettian camp, among thousands of ceramic pieces made more than 15,000 years before pots, and a fight over whether the fire was meant to keep them or to break them.
