Yes, but the local scientists have already expressed the opinion that it is an ancient Brown Bear. I'm not quite sure what a Cave Bear is: has it been recently referred to as Short-faced Bear (which looks quite different from Brown Bear) or is that something else again?
The wikipedia article on Cave Bear mentions this specimen (Taxonomy, paragraph 3), citing the original research papers on it (refs. 4, 5, 6), which call it a Cave Bear :t:
Short-faced bears (2 species) are a separate genus, from N America.

Thank you very much, I had a look around at lunchtime and thoroughly enjoyed the chase from Cave Bear to Short-faced Bear then Dire Wolf and Cave Hyena. Some great pix seen too as a result of the links!
