Abstract
Abstract. This paper presents the results of study on fossil materials collected from the archaeological site Ihrovytsya I (western Ukraine). The small mammals remains were accumulated inside fossil animal burrows. Six taxa of rodents (Spermophilus sp., Microtus gregalis, Microtus arvalis/gregalis, Microtus (Terricola) sp., Dicrostonyx gulielmi and Lemmus lemmus) and one taxon of lagomorphs (Ochotona pusilla) were identified among the collected bone remains. Species representation indicates a typical steppe-tundra community related with a cool climatic period. The age of the assemblage is confirmed by their position in a stratified and previously geologically investigated profile and should be connected with early part of the Last Glaciation (MIS 5a-5b or early part of MIS 4).
