Correction to: Paleobiology and Taphonomy of a Middle Paleolithic Neandertal Tooth from Ciemna Cave, Southern Poland

Middle Paleolithic human remains from more northern Central Europe are rare and fragmentary despite a relative abundance of archeological remains in this region from this time period (Fig. 1a). To date, Neandertal remains in Poland are limited to three isolated molars from Stajnia Cave (Urbanowski et al. 2010; Dąbrowski et al. 2013; Nowaczewska et al. 2013). Additional fragmentary Neandertal fossils from the upland zone of Central Europe come from Švédův stůl (Ochoz) (Vlček 1969) and Kůlna Cave (Jelínek 1988) in the Moravian Karst, and Šipka Cave near Štramberk, Czech Republic (Svoboda et al. 1996). Nean- dertal remains from the Carpathians are limited to Šal’a 1 (Sládek et al. 2002), Šal’a 2 (Jakab 2005), and Gànovce 1 (Vlček 1955) in Slovakia; Subalyuk 1 and 2 (Pap et al. 1996) in Hungary; and Bordul Mare 1 (von Gaál 1928) further east in Romania. Given the extensive occupation of at least southern Poland into neighboring Moravia and the Carpathians during the Middle Paleolithic, the dearth of human remains raises questions regarding the roles of humans in site formation processes in the region. A fragmentary human tooth from Ciemna Cave in southern Poland, a partial mandibular incisor (Ciemna 1), provides additional data relevant to these questions and expands our knowledge of Neandertal behavior in the region
