Summary:

The most topical Middle Paleolithic site in Slovenia is presented in full and discussed in detail in this series. The Divje Babe I cave site became famous for the archaeological discovery of what current investigations indicate could be the oldest flute, made of the bone of a cave bear, yet discovered. The principal part of the compilation is dedicated to a typological, technological, acoustic and musicological discussion of the remarkable find. Individual chapters present the stratigraphy, chronology, fauna and flora from the site, in addition to the Paleolithic material finds (however, only up to the layer including the bone flute). The book incorporates the first abridged and summarized determinations from the current archaeological excavations, which are not yet concluded. In addition to the editor, who is also the author and coauthor of the majority of chapters, the following individuals also provided contributions to the series: G. Bastiani, M. Culiberg, J. Dirjec, B. Kavur, B. Kryštufek, T.-L. Ku, D. Kunej, D. E. Nelson, M. Omrzel-Terlep and A. Šercelj.

V zborniku je celovito predstavljeno in obdelano trenutno najbolj aktualno srednjepaleolitsko najdišče v Sloveniji. Jamsko najdišče Divje babe I je postalo znano zaradi arheološke najdbe, za katero dosedanje raziskave kažejo, da bi lahko bila najstarejša piščal, izdelana iz kosti jamskega medveda. Osrednji del zbornika je posvečen prav tipološki, tehnološki, akustični in muzikološki obdelavi znamenite najdbe. V posameznih poglavjih je predstavljena še stratigrafija, kronologija, favna in flora najdišča ter paleolitske najdbe, vendar le do vključno plasti, v kateri je bila najdena koščena piščal. V knjigi so prvič strnjene in povzete ugotovitve dosedanjih arheoloških izkopavanj, ki pa seveda še niso zaključena. Poleg urednika, ki je tudi avtor in soavtor večine poglavij, sodelujejo v zborniku s prispevki še G. Bastiani, M. Culiberg, J. Dirjec, B. Kavur, B. Kryštufek, T.-L. Ku, D. Kunej, D. E. Nelson, M. Omrzel-Terlep in A. Šercelj.
