Retouched Burin-Cores in the Earliest Upper Palaeolithic of Kostenki 17, Cultural Layer II
Multifaceted burins on truncation represent a key category within the lithic assemblage of II cultural layer of Kostenki 17 — a unique industry of the initial stage of the Upper Palaeolithic. Despite their fundamental significance, these artefacts have not previously been the subject of a dedicated study. This article presents, for the first time, the results of a comprehensive technological, typological and use-wear analysis of burins on truncat…
The Radiocarbon Chronology of Late Upper Palaeolithic Sites in the Center of the Russian Plain
The Late Upper Palaeolithic of Kostёnki and adjacent territories (~21-12 ka uncal BP/~27-14 ka cal BP) remains the period least well-documented with absolute dating evidence. During this study, 19 samples were collected from the cultural layers of ten sites and submitted to the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU) for radiocarbon dating. The results obtained significantly advance our knowledge of these sites' ages and of the development of …
Development of the microlithic technology in the Early Upper Palaeolithic of Kostenki (European Russia)
This article presents the results of the typological analysis of Early Upper Paleolithic non-geometric microliths from the Kostenki site cluster. A relationship between certain types of microlith and the age of different Kostenki sites was established. Based on stratigraphic correlation and radiocarbon dating, three chronological groups corresponding to three stratigraphic units are distinguished: a) the Lower Humic Bed, b) the level of the Campa…
Development Phases of the Microlithic Technology in the Early Upper Paleolithic of Kostenki
В статье представлены результаты технико-типологического анализа негеометрических микролитов стоянок ранней поры верхнего палеолита Костёнковско-Борщевского района. В ходе исследования была установлена связь между определенными видами негеометрических микролитов и выделенными на основании стратиграфической корреляции и радиоуглеродного возраста тремя группами памятников, соответствующими нижней гумусированной толще, уровню вулканического пепла и …
Eastern Europe’s “Transitional Industry”
The Streletskian is central to understanding the onset of the Upper Palaeolithic on the East European Plain. Early Streletskian assemblages are frequently seen as marking the Neanderthal-anatomically modern human (AMH) anthropological transition, as well as the Middle-to-Upper Palaeolithic archaeological transition. The age of key Streletskian assemblages, however, remains unclear, and there are outstanding questions over how they relate to Middl…
The Tempo of Cultural Change in the Kostenki Upper Paleolithic
The Kostenki-Borshchevo site complex (Voronezh region, Russia) serves as the foundation of Eastern Europe’s Upper Paleolithic chronocultural framework. Here we present new radiocarbon dates for three Kostenki sites. Dates of ∼27.5–27 ka BP for Kostenki 15 suggest that its archaeological layer accumulated over a short period. These results help to confirm that the site is unrelated to Aurignacian assemblages. New dates for the Kostenki-Avdeevo Cul…
Kostenki 17 (Spitsynskaya)
This paper describes the results of 2017-2020 fieldwork at the Upper Palaeolithic site of Kostenki 17 (Spitsynskaya). This work established the presence of five new horizons of finds, in addition to the two cultural layers known since the 1950s. Given the thickness of the Upper Humic Bed, it is clear that the horizons of finds are separated by sterile layers, and correspond to the existence of different sites on this part of the promontory. Despi…
Thoughts on the Structure of the European Aurignacian, with Particular Focus on Hohle Fels IV
Western Europe is often used as the basis from which to understand the Aurignacian of other regions. For some there is good inter-regional chronocultural agreement, whereas others see significant difference. One region frequently argued to differ is the Swabian Jura (southern Germany). In a recent contribution to this issue Bataille and Conard (2018) describe the Aurignacian assemblage from Layer IV of Hohle Fels. They convincingly outline import…
New data for the Early Upper Paleolithic of Kostenki (Russia)
The Age of the ‘Anosovka-Tel’manskaya Culture’ and the Issue of a Late Streletskian at Kostёnki 11, SW Russia
Triangular, concave-base ‘Streletskian points’ are documented in several assemblages from the Kostёnki complex of Upper Palaeolithic sites in south-western Russia. Some of these assemblages have been argued to evidence very early modern human occupation of Eastern Europe. However, Streletskian points are also recorded from younger contexts, notably at Kostёnki 11, where examples are attributed both to Layer V and the stratigraphically higher Laye…
The Kostënki 18 child burial and the cultural and funerary landscape of Mid Upper Palaeolithic European Russia
Morpho-Metric Variability of Early Gravettian Tanged “Font-Robert” Points, and Functional Implications
Trou du Renard and the Belgian Aurignacian
A wealth of cave sites makes southern Belgium the most important area for understanding the north-western European Early Upper Palaeolithic. However, despite their abundance, the interpretation of many assemblages remains problematic. Here we present a new study of lithic material from layer B of Trou du Renard (Furfooz, Namur Province) and consider its place in the Belgian Aurignacian. The assemblage is typical of Late Aurignacian assemblages fo…
A Middle Palaeolithic to Early Upper Palaeolithic succession from an open air site at Beedings, West Sussex
The collection of flintwork from the site of Beedings, West Sussex (England) contains by far the largest number of stone tools from the earliest Upper Palaeolithic of Britain, and is one of the two largest assemblages of its type in Europe. Despite its obvious importance, its analysis has been hindered by several factors resulting from its early excavation. Chief amongst these is the almost total lack of stratigraphic or contextual information: i…
The archaeology of Britain&s first modern humans
The sites of the first modern humans who occupied what is now Britain have been reduced to a handful by subsequent glaciation and the rise in sea level, and their assemblages have been further depleted because early excavators ignored the microliths. Confronting the challenges of this exiguous material, the author succeeds in painting a vivid picture of Aurignacian hunters following prey down the now submerged Channel River Valley, colonising the…
Bladelet cores as weapon tips? Hafting residue identification and micro-wear analysis of three carinated burins from the late Aurignacian of Les Vachons, France
Rewriting the History Books
The text books say that there is no cave art in Britain. These will now have to be rewritten. . . . There had been a psychological barrier to the existence of cave art in Britain . . . butnever a satisfactory explanationas to why there was none. (Jon Humble, Inspector of Ancient Monuments, English Heritage, in an interview with John Pickrell for National Geographic News) In April 2003 Britain’s first unequivocal Palaeolithic parietal art was disc…
