Abstract
An overview of faunistic records (i.e. of large mammals and molluscs) from some prehistoric sites of the Tyrrhenian regions of Southern Italy and Sicily (Grotta del Mezzogiorno, Grotta della Serratura, Grotta del Romito and Grotta d’Oriente) indicates an opportunistic human environmental exploitation in this region during the Late Glacial-Early Holocene transition. Patterns of faunal exploitation appear to be strongly controlled by combinations of palaeoclimatic conditions, specific orographic and geomorphological settings and sea-level fluctuations.
