Aister Consortium. Synthesis of Key Findings – Roundtables
This synthesis consolidates the key findings from three expert roundtables organised under WP2A2 of the AISTER project in 2025. Discussions explored the opportunities and risks of using artificial intelligence for safeguarding cultural heritage in crisis contexts, including documentation, data management, and citizen engagement. Ethical concerns, preparedness challenges, and inequalities of access were high-lighted, alongside the critical role of…
Peculiarities of spatial behaviour among bearers of the Mezhyrichian Upper Palaeolithic tradition
Sites of Mezhyrichian tradition of the Middle Dnieper Epigravettian provide critical insights into the seasonal mobility and functional use of space by prehistoric communities. The study of the Dwelling 4 at the Mezhyrich settlement has unveiled distinct patterns in the organization of living space, particularly concerning the placement of functionally diverse objects within and around mammoth bone dwellings. An analysis of the interior of the fo…

Archaeological Sites During the War
The issue of recording the damage caused to cultural heritage as a result of unprovoked aggression of the Russian Federation is extremely relevant. The process of monitoring the destruction of objects takes place both at the state level and thanks to the activities of civil initiatives. However, at the present stage, the analysis of losses focuses mainly on objects of architecture, monumental art and religious buildings. On the other hand, record…
Archaeological Monitoring in War-Torn Ukraine
The article examines the problems of monitoring the destruction of the archaeological heritage in Ukraine as a result of the aggression of the Russian Federation. The negative impact of the war on the general state of research is indicated. The problems that arise during the monitoring of archaeological heritage in the de-occupied territories are considered. Among the factors that make it difficult to record the loss of archaeological heritage, t…
The tools of war
The military invasion of Ukraine has destroyed and damaged extensive built cultural heritage, including churches, museums and monuments.

Lithic processing complex of the fourth dwelling of the Mezhyrich Upper Palaeolithic settlement
In order to determine the degree of relatedness of archaeological sites, it is important to study lithic assemblages originated from relatively closed archaeological objects and which can serve as a reference for a comparative analysis of several industries. This article analyses a separate archaeological object - a flint Workshop 1 - against the background of the overall structure of the lithic assemblage of the fourth household unit. The Worksh…
The impact of Holocene climate setbacks on Neolithic societies in Eastern Europe
The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic remind the scientific community that human-environment relations are of great social relevance. Societal crises, currently triggered by the emergence of unknown viruses or in the future by climate change, are essentially the result of widening human activities since the last 12,000 years. Therefore, research that examines the transformative phases in the evolution of human culture associated with past…

Kyiv Dnieper Region sites with Kukrek inventory in archeological and climate contexts
The article presents an attempt to analyse the archaeological and climate backgrounds of the spread of Kukrek technocomplex together with the traditions of ceramic production in the Kyiv Dnieper Region. One of the main results of the study is the conclusion about the complexity of migration processes in the Early Holocene, which is manifested in significant variability of sites, and in various combinations of Janislawice, Kukrek, BugDniester and …
Osteological Materials From the Household Pit 6 at the Mezhyrich Settlement

Palaeolithic Human Societies During the Upper Pleniglacial Throught Their Relations With Other Animals in Ukrainian Archaeological Sites
The first part of the Upper Pleniglacial (around 26000—20000 BP) is characterized by a deterioration in weather conditions, which reached its peak during the Last Glacial Maximum. In the East European Plain, most of its lands were dominated by a periglacial steppe-tundra with the maximum extension of ice sheet in the North and permafrost. The different animal species had to adapt to these environments, also as human groups.The recent works realiz…
Study of human behaviors during the late pleniglacial in the East European Plain through their relation to the animal world
The late Pleniglacial was characterized by different palaeoenvironmental and geographical modifications, which affected the diverse living beings that had to adapt to those peculiar conditions. This paper intends to explore how this phenomenon may have impacted the practices of the nomadic human populations who occupied the East European Plain during the last part of the Pleistocene, through their relation to the environments, landscapes, overall…
