}}Potok Cave[1][2] ({{lang-sl|Potočka zijalka}} or Potočka zijavka[3]) is a cave in northern Slovenia, declared a high-elevation archaeological and paleontological site, occupied approximately 35,000 years[4] BP (before present) by anatomically modern humans of the Aurignacian culture during the Upper Paleolithic. The cave is named after the Potok Farm in Podolševa.[5][6] The Slovene term zijalka or zijavka refers to a flat-bottomed cave with a gaping mouth on a cliff face.[6][7] Systematic excavations were carried out from 1928 through 1935 by Slovenian archaeologist Srečko Brodar.[8]

Location

The cave is located in the eastern Karawanks in northern Slovenia, on the southern slope of Mount Olševa above Solčava, at an elevation of {{convert|1675|m|abbr=on}} in the Triassic limestone.[8] It is {{convert|115|m|abbr=on}}[9] long and varies from {{convert|17|m|abbr=on}} wide at the mouth to {{convert|40|m|abbr=on}} wide in the interior.[9] Its entry opens toward the south.[8]

Role

There are two explanations of its role. According to the original explanation, the cave was a hunting station. According to the newer one, it was a ritual place.[8]

Excavations

After amateur excavations by Josef Gross, a medical student from Austria, the area was bought by the Museum Society of Celje. Systematic excavations were carried out on its behalf by archaeologist Srečko Brodar, starting in 1928[10] and continuing until 1935.[9]

The finds from eight layers excavated from the cave included the bones of more than 40 animal species, including the cave bears, wolves, alpine marmots, hares, red foxes, weasels, lynx, red deer, chamois, and in particular, teeth of a muskox; as well as 123 arrowheads, a controversial bone flute, and one of the world's oldest sewing needles.[8][11]

Exhibits

In a village near the cave, a permanent exhibit is open for tourists at the Firšt Inn and Museum in the Logar Valley.[12] The other finds can be seen at the Celje Regional Museum. Unfortunately much of the collection was destroyed during World War II in 1945 Allied bombing raids.[9]
