O pomenu jame Divje babe I za stratigrafijo, sedimentologijo in kronologijo jamskih paleolitskih najdišč v Sloveniji

The article reviews the development and interpretation of procedures used in the study of the sedimentary sequence of the Divje babe I Palaeolithic cave site. The data were obtained from publications, archives, and personal information provided by Ivan Turk, who directed the excavations and directed the laboratory investigations. The profile of Divje babe I is currently the best researched and chronologically defined Late Pleistocene cave profile in Slovenia. For the first time, various sedimentological and other data from the standard profile were upgraded with the same data obtained on standardized ground plan surfaces and depths. A large spatial (lateral) variability was discovered, associated with generally contemporaneous but different cave microenvironments, which were crucially influenced by different amounts of water in all aggregate states. Without taking into account temporal and spatial dimensions, it would not be possible to combine all statistical sets of collected data on sediments, their contents, and climatic parameters into a unified system.V članku sta podana pregled razvoja in razlaga postopkov, uporabljenih pri proučevanju profila paleolitskega jamskega najdišča Divje babe I. Podatke smo pridobili iz objav, arhivskega gradiva in osebnih informacij Ivana Turka, ki je vodil izkopavanja in ciljno usmerjal laboratorijske raziskave. Profil Divjih bab I je trenutno najbolje raziskan in kronološko opredeljen mlajšepleistocenski jamski profil v Sloveniji. Različni sedimentološki in drugi podatki iz standardnega profila so bili prvič nadgrajeni z istimi podatki, pridobljenimi na standardnih tlorisnih površinah in globinah. Ugotovljena je bila velika prostorska (lateralna) variabilnost, povezana s sicer sočasnimi, vendar različnimi jamskimi mikrookolji, na katera je odločilno vplivala različna prisotnost vode v vseh agregatnih stanjih. Brez upoštevanja časovne in prostorske dimenzije ne bi bilo mogoče povezati vseh statističnih množic zbranih podatkov o sedimentih, njihovi vsebini in kli- matskih parametrih v enovit sistem
