Abstract
A few bone remains of great bustard ( Otis tarda) have been collected from the archaeologicalMesolithic (= “Preneolithic”) layers (Boreal, 8th millennium cal. BC) of the Monte Leone shelter, near Bonifacio (Southern Corsica). This is the first discovery of the great bustard in Corsica (and the nearby Sardinia), at the very time when this species, very rare in archaeological contexts, seems to have been more often hunted by man in the Western Mediterranean. This discovery confirms the presence of very open biota during the Boreal period in the region of Bonifacio, where the species was probably a game for the Mesolithic hunters.
