Already the first season 1952, in a surface zone at the eastern margin of the wine-yard, near a crossroad below the village, brought to light surprising results. A deposit of mammoth skulls around a hearth and the related evidence, suggest a tent-like structure. Further excavation (1953) investigated a rich and ashy cultural layer against the slope, bellow the youngest loess cover. The layer was composed of several horizons; the upper ones frequently penetrated the lower ones. This observation suggests repeated stays at the spot. Previous experience from Dolní Věstonice enabled to develop a specific excavation method. The princip was to unearth larger areas and to separate them by a 1 m² grid of narrow section blocs. The whole content of the cultural layer, rich in microlithic tools and small objects, has been sieved. Apart from a series of excavation field reports, it was possible to publish several specific finds and assemblages. However a complex presentation of this site, excavated over 21 seasons, with 60.000 inventorized objects and a total of 1.000.000 objects (excluding faunal remains), is still missing. Already the first two excavation seasons show that Pavlov I is closely related to the well-known site of Dolní Věstonice I, it completes the previous evidence, and it is even more rich in archaeological material.

Not only for their number and good state of preservation, but especially for the richness of forms and types, these artifacts are decisive for defining a group of mammoth-hunters sites in the Central Europe as Pavlovian. Additional characteristic is being supplied by the decorative objects and the art, carved most frequently of ivory: the elaborate head-bands, relief pendants, and further anthropomorph and zoomorph carvings. They prove a high degree of mastery in working this noble and precious material. Some of the tools yield evidence of the applied technological procedures: i.e., the mode of antler chipping differs from that described from the Magdalenian. The tools were mostly found scattered around the hearths. Among the exceptions are a concentration of antler tools, which, however, does not represent a workshop area, and several concentrations of pendants, obviously the remains of colliers. The description presented here is preliminary. The objects are worth of a more detailed comparative and synthetical study, based on the total material of the site. Until now, such a comparison exists for the antler industry (Klíma 1987a). The type-list created for the first two seasons is valid for the total assemblage as well. It aims to incorporate almost completely the variability of types and forms. There are 419 objects, 273 of which belong to the bone industry.
