New data on the Late Pleistocene small mammal assemblages from Abri 122 archeological site, Vârghiș Gorges, Perșani Mountains

Spread over an area of 56m2, the Vârghiș Gorges include more than 124 caves that are located on four levels of karstification, formed during the Quaternary period, starting with the Middle Pleistocene (Cosac et al., 2018; Cosac, 2023). Considered by Cosac et al. (2021) as one of themost easily accessible and visible caves, Abri 122 is located on the right side of the slope in the terminal (southern) area of the Vârghiș Gorges, 625m above sea level and about 30m above the level of the Vârghiș stream.
