    Toškan, Borut ; Kryštufek, Boris
    Five significant records of rodents are reported from the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene of Slovenia. The identification of black rat Rattus rattus from the Late Bronze/Early Iron Age (ca. 1400-400 ... cal. BC) at Podjamca is thought to be one of the first records in Mediterranean Europe from the pre-Roman period. Evidence is also presented for the presence of Apodemus agrarius at Podjamca (at least 7800 y BP) and Suhadole (first half of the 1st century AD); the latter falls outside the current species range. The discovery of Dinaromys bogdanovi in Early Mesolithic layers (ca. 9600-7800 y BP) at Podjamca and of Late Mesolithic age (ca. 7800-6000 y BP) at Mala Triglavca are the first Holocene records outside the recent range of the species. Cricetulus migratorius (Podjamca, ca. 9600-7800 y BP; Mala Triglavca, 7800-6000 y BP) and Sicista subtilis (Divje babe I, ca. 80-75 ky BP) are reported for the first time in this part of Europe.
