Abstract
Taphonomic study of ungulate bones from two Ancient Gravettian levels of Grotta Paglicci (Rignano Garganico – FG), 22f and 23c, has showed a large quantities of anthropic traces on bone surfaces related to exploitation of the carcasses through the use of lithic tools. Observation of marks distribution on every single identifiable skeletal element of ungulate has pointed out the high quantity of traces on carpals, tarsals, metapodial bones, sesamoides and phalanges of Bos primigenius. Experimentation carried out on the distal portions of cattle legs suggests, for this type of skeleton, the adoption of a probable chaîne opératoire. [Distribution analysis of the anthropic traces on Ungulates remains from the Ancient Gravettian of Grotta Paglicci (Rignano Garganico – FG): exploitation distal portions of Bos primigenius limbs.]
