Abstract:

Final Palaeolithic (Terminal Palaeolithic) — the last, final phase of the Upper Palaeolithic of Europe, dating from 13.5—10 kyr and has numerous paleogeographic equivalents — Dryas period, Late glacier, Late or Final glacial, Tardiglacial period, reindeer age. In Zhytomyr Polissia there are two main groups of different Final Palaeolithic monuments with different cultural and chronological characteristics. At the beginning of the epoch, Еpigravettian mammoth hunters lived in the region. In particular, on the Ovruch ridge at the beginning of the Final Paleolithic a separate variant of the Еpigra

By the analysis of flint materials from two localities A and E we can get the conclusions about different traditions of flint working.

During road construction work, material attributed to the Final Palaeolithic was discovered at Skovmosen I, near Kongens Lyngby on Zealand, eastern Denmark. Although it is regularly mentioned in reviews of the southern Scandinavian Final Palaeolithic, the Skovmosen I assemblage has hitherto remained poorly described. We here review the site’s discovery history and its context. Aided by a three-dimensional digital recording protocol, this article details the assemblage composition and its technology. The assemblage is comprised of tanged points, scrapers and burins, alongside blades and cores a

Abstract. Research on the Palaeolithic started in Switzerland during the 19th Century in the overall framework of cave studies. Two different industries were soon recognized: middlepalaeolithic flake tools usually together with the bones of cave bear, and a late palaeolithic blade industry associated with bone and antler tools, sculptures and line drawings. Recent research yielded complementary information on openair sites. A characteristic Mousterian tool-kit comes from a surface deposit at Pleigne JU, Löwenburg.

Abstract:

Location modeling, both inductive and deductive, is widely used in archaeology to predict or investigate the spatial distribution of sites. The commonality among these approaches is their consideration of only spatial effects of the first order (i.e., the interaction of the locations with the site characteristics). Second-order effects (i.e., the interaction of locations with each other) are rarely considered. We introduce a deductive approach to investigating such second-order effects using linguistic hypotheses about settling behavior in the Final Palaeolithic. A Poisson process was used to

Although not in situ, little lateral movement is indicated for at least one of these scatters from which several core reduction sequences could be determined through a programme of refitting. The other scatter appears to have suffered more post-depositional disturbance. One scatter appears to have functioned as a knapping station, while the othe

One of the most important issues in the study of ecological systems is to determine the nature of the changes that occurred during the transition from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene.

Detection of continuity or discontinuity of transitional periods is possible with involving the analysis of data of several related disciplines - in this case and prehistory archaeology and paleogeography.

We argue that the Mesolithic directly follows the Final Palaeolithic on the Polish Plain, without the chronological hiatus of 150–300 years that is often

Archaeological systematics, together with spatial and chronological information, are commonly used to infer cultural evolutionary dynamics in the past.

Yet, cultural taxonomic practice is known to be variable across research history and academic traditions, and few large-scale replicable analyses across such traditi

Excavations discovered a small task site, located to take advantage of water and a lithic raw material source.

In the more variable climate that followed, the prevalence of microliths suggests lightweight composite hunting weapons mostly used in pursuit of small game and diverse food resources. These weapons eventually included bow and arrows in the final Pleistocene.

Rzeszów has provided (apart from other numerous movable and immovable remains) a small collection of flint artefacts which was classified as a Magdalenian assemblage. It consists of 188 artefacts including 38 tools (such as endscrapers, which are more numerous than burins, a piercer, two microliths) and 4 cores. A great diversity of raw materials is observed, among which there are also rocks coming from the areas to east and south considering the range of the Magdalenian. The site should be interpreted as a shortterm hunting camp. Its

Abstract:

Palaeolithic materials of multilayered archaeological site Barun-Alan-1 situated on the east of the Western Transbaikal were collected from two main lithological layers — 7 and 7g. At the same time the materials of the 7th layer distinctively differ from materials of the 7g layer that allows considering them as two different cultures (industries). Materials from the 7th layer and from the lower part of the 6th layer are distinguished as a separate archaeological culture named Khengerekte-Sukhotino. This culture existence time spans the period of sartan cooling in a whole. Archaeological materi

Thirty-four years ago there appeared in the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society the third and final paper in a series reporting the research of Eric Higgs and his colleagues into the climate, environment, and Stone Age record of north-west Greece (Higgs et al. 1967). This paper discussed two limestone rockshelters, Kastritsa and Asprochaliko, comparatively in what is now a classic example of site catchment analysis. Kastritsa, in the Pamvotis lake basin, and Asprochaliko, some 35 km away in the Louros river valley (Fig. 1), were destined to become famous, not only for being amongst the firs

Rejowiec flint from the Chełm Hills occur among glacigenic sediments of the Odranian glaciation and is referred to as erratic flints. The authors, based on the analysis of the sedimentary succession of a kame in Lechówka – within the boundaries of the largest outcrop, in so-called ‘Region I’ (Rejowiec region) – indicate that: (1) the probable source of the flints were older series of glacigenic sediments – from before the Odranian glaciation, (2) their great accumulation directly under the surface and – as a result – their considerable accessibility for exploitation in prehistory were caused b

The prehistorian André Leroi-Gourhan envisages technological behaviour along a continuum of manual activity extending to artistic production. His work on Palaeolithic cave art, which dominates the final phase of his career, builds on parameters set out in the 1950s and 1960s, and indeed early works on figuration ( Bestiaire du bronze chinois (1936) and Documents pour l'art comparé (1943)) already use the methodology which characterizes his Préhistoire de l'art occidental (1965). Nevertheless, there is a qualitative shift in Leroi-Gourhan's post-war work in response to structuralism and in dial

However, the considerable time that has passed since its discovery necessitates a revision, the topic of this paper. The technotypological analogues of the assemblage are Late Epigravettian – Early Mesolithic sites of the Northern Balkans to the south, and Epimagdalenian sites of the Moravian Basin to the north. These analogues, the southern location and northern raw materials of the site support two previous hypotheses: the regional

The article provides main results of the experimental modelling of the technologies for processing ornamental stones, which were widely used in the Upper Palaeolithic of the Altai Mountains. The operational sequence of stone pendants production reconstructed in experiments included several stages: knapping or cleaving of serpentine, talc, talcochlorite, calcite and selenite for the manufacture of initial blanks, obtaining preforms by abrasive processing and sawing, drilling, shaping by grinding. When handling the abrasives, reciprocating movements were performed while holding the workpiece in
