Description The Dolní Věstonice–Pavlov–Milovice area (Czech Republic) on the slopes of the Pavlov Hills provides an opportunity or correlating the geomorphology of the Dyje River valley with Gravettian settlement patterns. Although the sites vary in size and complexity,they create a regular chain of trategic locations at elevations between 200 m and 240 m sl. In 2009, a road collapsed into deserted cellars inside the village of Milovice and revealed a complex of archaeological layers deep within loess, at an elevation of only 175 m asl. This paper presents an analysis of this atypical archaeological site location and compares the results with the other sites.
