Abstract Among the well-known small mammal assemblages of the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland, the one from Tunel Wielki Cave is one of the most interesting for the Pleistocene biochronology of Poland. As a new trench was opened in 2018, it was possible to reanalyse the entire sequence. Its complex stratigraphy is divided into two phases: the Holocene–Late Pleistocene series and the Middle Pleistocene. In this work, we present the study of a small mammal assemblage coming from this site, with a focus on the Middle Pleistocene material. The total assemblage was composed of 268 individuals divided into 43 taxa. In the Middle Pleistocene series, two oscillations, one mild and one cold, were detected. Among the determined taxa, some are crucial for defining the chronology of the lower part of the sequence. Arvicola mosbachensis was recorded, consisting of the first finding of this species in Poland. The presence of Pliomys coronensis was confirmed, as well as that of Pliomys episcopalis. The occurrence of Microtus cf. arvalis, Microtus cf. agrestis among rodents, Myotis bechsteinii cf. robustus, and Plecotus cf. abeli among bats, as well as the analyses of the morphological characters of the other species confirm that this part of the sequence can be related to the Middle Pleistocene, precisely to a moment between Marine Isotope Stages (MISs) 14 and 11, establishing Tunel Wielki Cave as the first Early Toringian site in Poland.

来自 Tunel Wielki Cave (Kraków-Częstochowa Upland) 下层的中更新世小型哺乳动物：波兰的早期托林人组合

摘要 在克拉科夫-琴斯托霍瓦高地著名的小型哺乳动物群中，Tunel Wielki Cave 的群落是波兰更新世生物年代学中最有趣的群落之一。由于 2018 年开辟了一条新战壕，因此可以重新分析整个序列。其复杂的地层分为两个阶段：全新世-晚更新世系列和中更新世。在这项工作中，我们展示了对来自该地点的小型哺乳动物组合的研究，重点是中更新世材料。整个组合由 268 个人组成，分为 43 个分类群。在中更新世系列中，检测到两种振荡，一种是轻微的，一种是冷的。在确定的分类群中，有些对于确定序列下部的年代顺序至关重要。Arvicola mosbachensis 被记录，包括在波兰首次发现该物种。证实了 Pliomys coronensis 的存在，以及 Pliomys Episcopalis 的存在。Microtus 的发生 参见。阿瓦利斯，Microtus 参见。啮齿动物中的 agrestis，Myotis bechsteinii cf。健壮，和 Plecotus 参见。蝙蝠中的 abeli，以及对其他物种形态特征的分析证实，这部分序列可能与中更新世有关，恰好与海洋同位素阶段 (MIS) 14 和 11 之间的时刻有关，建立 Tunel Wielki洞穴是波兰第一个早期托林时期遗址。
