New research on the Gravettian site cluster of Grub-Kranawetberg, Austria
The Grub-Kranawetberg site cluster is embedded in the rich Upper Palaeolithic landscape of the Middle Danube region. Here we present an updated list of the sites around the villages of Grub and Stillfried, summarise the setting of the Grub-Kranawetberg site cluster in the landscape and provide a detailed overview of the research history for the sites of Grub-Kranawetberg including an updated overview of the different excavation areas. This is fol…
Wearing Narratives of Identity at the Mid Upper Palaeolithic Site Complex of Grub-Kranawetberg (Austria)
A First Look at the Gravettian Open-Air Site Ollersdorf-Heidenberg (Austria)
The Middle Danube region is a key area for understanding Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer behaviours in a climatic context due to its long loess–palaeosol sequences and rich archaeological record spanning from the onset of the Upper Palaeolithic to the Last Glacial Maximum and beyond. Recently, new approaches focusing on high-resolution studies of the stratigraphy, geoarchaeological studies at microscopic scale and investigations of organic mat…
Fire Use During the Last Glacial Maximum
The Last Glacial maximum (LGM), spanning from 26.5 to 19 thousand years before present (ka bp ), is a period of extreme climatic degradation associated with reduced biomass production and resource stress throughout Eurasia. Arguably, one of the most fundamental tools for human survival during this cold and arid period was the ability to create, maintain and use fire. While fire is widely considered a ubiquitous tool in modern human behaviour, the…
Human-Animal Interactions at Korman’ 9, Ukraine
The maximum ice sheet expansions of the Last Glacial Maximum between 26.5 and 22 ka cal BP (e. g., the maximum glacial extents Leszno and Frankfurt) are followed by a succession of interstadial (e. g., Cosăuţi V Interstadial) and stadial conditions toward the end of the Late Pleniglacial. This period is generally thought to have witnesses a European-wide decline in population density, and is characterized by a scarcity of sites. Here, we report o…
Exploring the Surrounding of a Gravettian Site. The Case Study Grub-Kranawetberg, Austria
In this report we summarize the findings of our fieldwalking survey conducted around the well-known Mid-Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian) open-air site Grub-Kranawetberg I in Lower Austria, about 40 kilometres northeast of Vienna. In September 2021, we surveyed around 126,000 square metres using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) to piece-plot each find. In total, we recovered 359 finds comprising lithic artefacts and faunal remains. In our …
Exploring the Potential of the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic Site Korolevo II (Ukraine)
Les stations paléolithiques de Mitoc, sur le Prut (Roumanie)
Primele descoperiri paleolitice în România au avut loc în secolul al XIX-lea, în zona Mitoc (județul Botoșani). Dintre acestea, cinci stațiuni principale au beneficiat de săpături sistematice, atestând prezența unor industrii caracteristice Paleoliticului mijlociu și celui Superior (Aurignacian, Gravettian și Epipaleolitic). Unele situri au scos la lumină industrii amestecate, altele, cum este Malu Galben, se caracterizează prin industrii mai bin…

The new Upper Palaeolithic site Korman’ 9 in the Middle Dniester valley (Ukraine)
The mid Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian) sequence of Mitoc-Malu Galben (Romania)
Paleolithic Site Neporotovo 7 in the Middle Dniester Region (preliminary results)
The article is devoted to the results of the study of Neporotovo 7 - a new multilayered Palaeolithic site in the Middle Dniester region, situated 20 km east of the site of Molodovo V. One Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian?) and four Middle Palaeolithic horizons (AH 2, 3, 3а, 7) were identified in the loess sediments dated to the Upper and Middle Pleistocene. The thickness of the sediments is about 10 m. The collection from the uppermost Middle Palae…
Willendorf II
Climate shaped how Neolithic farmers and European hunter-gatherers interacted after a major slowdown from 6,100 bce to 4,500 bce
Neue Einblicke in das Gravettien von Willendorf II. Die Steinartefakte der Grabung 1993
The well-dated stratigraphic sequence of Willendorf II is a reference site for the Upper Palaeolithic in general and the Gravettian in particular. In 1993, a joint team from the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique (Brussels, Belgium) and the University of Vienna carried out excavations at this loess site in the Danube Valley known since the end of the 19th century. During the excavation season, the team recovered 391 artefacts, the…
First Geochemical ‘Fingerprinting’ of Balkan and Prut Flint from Palaeolithic Romania
Long‐distance raw material transfers across Romania prior to the Last Glacial Maximum have previously been inferred from either visual and/or petrographic observations of East Carpathian sites. We investigated the potential to ‘fingerprint’ flint from archaeological sites at Mitoc‐Malu Galben and Bistricioara–Lutărie III in Eastern Romania, using in situ high‐precision analyses of 28 major, minor and trace elements determined by laser ablation – …
Ancient genomes show social and reproductive behavior of early Upper Paleolithic foragers
How early human groups were organized Sequencing ancient hominid remains has provided insights into the relatedness between individuals. However, it is not clear whether ancient humans bred among close relatives, as is common in some modern human cultures. Sikora et al. report genome sequences from four early humans buried close together in western Russia about 34,000 years ago (see the Perspective by Bergström and Tyler-Smith). The individuals c…
Did prehistoric foragers behave in an economically irrational manner? Raw material availability and technological organisation at the early Gravettian site of Willendorf II (Austria)
Early modern human settlement of Europe north of the Alps occurred 43,500 years ago in a cold steppe-type environment
Significance Modern humans dispersed into Europe and replaced Neanderthals at least 40,000 years ago. However, the precise timing and climatic context of this dispersal are heavily debated. Therefore, a new project combining paleoenvironmental and archaeological fieldwork has been undertaken at Willendorf II (Austria), a key site for this time period. This project has concluded that modern humans producing Aurignacian stone tools occupied Central…
Les structures d’occupation gravettiennes en Europe centrale
L’Aurignacien en Basse Autriche
The Early Upper Palaeolithic of the Middle Danube Region
The Early Upper Palaeolithic (EUP) record throughout Europe is characterized by major changes in human behaviour. Different models explaining these changes and the emergence of the EUP have been proposed over the past decades. The research presented in this volume focuses on answering the question of whether the EUP changes in human behaviour are due to local evolution or diffusion processes. Using a methodology that includes an attribute analysi…
