Abstract
RADIOCARBON datings on human skeletons from the Padina site in the Iron Gate Gorge of the Danube in Yugoslavia have revealed that they belonged to a population at least 9,000yr old. This age is of especial importance because it is the earliest yet obtained by radiocarbon analysis for human bones from the region. It indicates for the first time the existence of a Cromagnon population in Yugoslavia.
