Where: Serbia and Montenegro (43.5° N, 22.3° E: paleocoordinates 43.5° N, 22.3° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• During the 1995 field season, a trench was opened in Baranica I and four layers with overall thickness of2.5 m were uncovered (Fig. 1). The uppermost layer(Layer 1) is of the Holocene age and the remaining three are of the Late Pleistocene age. Numerous remains of small vertebrates have been found in Layers 2and 4, while only a few were found in Layer 3.
