Dear Stefan,

I know only this reference:

KOWALSKI K. 1959. Katalog Ssaków Plejstocenu Polski. Pañstwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe. Warszawa. You can find this citation in follow study:

http://palaeontologia.pan.pl/Archive/1973-29.pdf

Probably you mean another article, but maybe it helps you too. All the best

Petr

Dear Petr,

the book by Magdalena Borsuk-Białynicka (Studies on the pleistocene rhinoceros Coelodonta antiquitatis) is great. Many thanks for the link! But the monograph by Kazimierz Kowalski is not what I was looking for. But your tip brought me on the right track (keywords: Kazimierz Kowalski ribs ungulates). The article I was looking for is:

Mieczysław Wolsan, A comparative analysis of the ribs of ungulates for archaeozoological purposes. Acta Zoologica Cracoviensia 26 (6), 1982, 167-228.

Online:

I'm glad to have this paper again. Once more many thanks.

Best wishes,

Stefan

Dear Stefan, I see that you you have found the book. If you need more date you can follow the journal “Folia Quaternaria” and "Acta Zoologica Cracoviensia"

Best wishes,

Jan
