While bears (Ursidae) are well represented in Western Europe and the Caucasus during the Pleistocene, bear remains from this period are rare in Southwest Asia. Only a limited number of sites, both natural and archaeological, have yielded evidence of brown bear (Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758). Skeletal remains for this species are often represented by a limited number of elements. The discovery of 192 remains identified as brown bear in Wezmeh Cave (Kermanshah Province, Iran) is exceptional. This paper presents a detailed description of the Wezmeh osteological assemblage, which confirms that U. arctos was already present in Zagros during the Upper Pleistocene.

扎格罗斯的上更新世棕熊(食肉动物,熊科):来自伊朗克曼沙的韦兹梅洞穴的证据

在更新世期间,西欧和高加索地区的熊(熊科动物)的比例很高,而这一时期的熊遗骸在西南亚则很少见。自然和考古遗址中只有少数几个地方提供了棕熊的证据(乌尔苏斯·Arctos Linnaeus,1758年)。该物种的骨骼遗骸通常由有限数量的元素代表。在Wezmeh Cave(伊朗克曼沙赫省)发现了192具被确认为棕熊的遗骸是一个例外。本文详细介绍了Wezmeh的骨科组合,证实了上更新世期间Zagros中已经存在U. arctos
