Human Remains from the Moravian Gravettian: The Dolní Věstonice 35 Femoral Diaphysis

A recently identified isolated proximal femoral diaphysis from the Moravian Gravettian site of Dolní Věstonice I, Dolní Věstonice 35, is described. It is among the larger individuals known for the European earlier Upper Paleolithic, and it presents a marked gluteal buttress, a large pilaster, proximal anterior diaphyseal curvature, moderate anteversion, and variably rugose muscular markings. It is notable for its relatively low midshaft percent cortical area and moderate diaphyseal robusticity.
