“…In Bizkaia, the Gravettian Level VI of Bolinkoba provided a contemporaneous date for this regional period, while a second one is much younger (~10k uncal BP), attributable to the regional Azilian, suggesting significant mixing or curational problem as no diagnostic Azilian lithic material has been recovered or identified in Level VI assemblage [ 53 ]. In Amalda (Gipuzkoa), three dates provided younger dates than expected [ 54 ]. One sample from Mousterian Level VII provided a date within a Gravettian time range (~28k uncal BP), possibly reflecting a limited admixture between Levels VI and VII [ 55 ].…”

“…The Mousterian levels dated were Amalda VII [ 14 ], Axlor IV [ 15 ] and Llonín VI [ 16 – 20 ], while the only Châtelperronian level was Ekain Xa [ 21 ]. The Aurignacian levels were Aitzbitarte (Cave III-entrance area) Vb center [ 22 ], Ekain IXb, Cobrante V and VI [ 23 ], El Ruso Cave I IVb [ 24 ], El Otero IV, V and VI [ 25 ], Morin 7c [ 26 ], Covalejos B (2) and C (3) [ 27 ]. Finally, the Gravettian levels were Aitzbitarte (Cave III-entrance area) IV, Va and Vb upper, Amalda V and VI, Bolinkoba VI/F [ 28 – 29 ], El Cuco III and Vb [ 30 – 31 ], La Viña VII, VIII, IX and X [ 32 – 36 ] and Llonín V. Other regional sites with contemporaneous cultural attributions, but unclear stratigraphy, insufficient archaeological information, or those that are currently still under study were not included here.…”

Chronological reassessment of the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition and Early Upper Paleolithic cultures in Cantabrian Spain

Methodological advances in dating the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition provide a better understanding of the replacement of local Neanderthal populations by Anatomically Modern Humans. Today we know that this replacement was not a single, pan-European event, but rather it took place at different times in different regions. Thus, local conditions could have played a role. Iberia represents a significant macro-region to study this process. Northern Atlantic Spain contains evidence of both Mousterian and Early Upper Paleolithic occupations, although most of them are not properly dated, thus hindering the chances of an adequate interpretation. Here we present 46 new radiocarbon dates conducted using ultrafiltration pre-treatment method of anthropogenically manipulated bones from 13 sites in the Cantabrian region containing Mousterian, Aurignacian and Gravettian levels, of which 30 are considered relevant. These dates, alongside previously reported ones, were integrated into a Bayesian age model to reconstruct an absolute timescale for the transitional period. According to it, the Mousterian disappeared in the region by 47.9–45.1ka cal BP, while the Châtelperronian lasted between 42.6k and 41.5ka cal BP. The Mousterian and Châtelperronian did not overlap, indicating that the latter might be either intrusive or an offshoot of the Mousterian. The new chronology also suggests that the Aurignacian appears between 43.3–40.5ka cal BP overlapping with the Châtelperronian, and ended around 34.6–33.1ka cal BP, after the Gravettian had already been established in the region. This evidence indicates that Neanderthals and AMH co-existed <1,000 years, with the caveat that no diagnostic human remains have been found with the latest Mousterian, Châtelperronian or earliest Aurignacian in Cantabrian Spain.

“…Interestingly, no portable art has yet been identified in the Gravettian units, contrasting with the Noaillian from Isturitz [ 15 ]. The faunal assemblages dominated in the entrance sector by bovids ( Bos/Bison ), red deer and chamois, and by Bos/Bison in the interior [ 35 , 36 ]. In these assemblages, the presence of consumed birds, fish and molluscs has also been attested [ 28 , 29 ].…”

Redefining shared symbolic networks during the Gravettian in Western Europe: New data from the rock art findings in Aitzbitarte caves (Northern Spain)

The renewal of the archaeological record, mainly through the discovery of unpublished sites, provides information that sometimes qualifies or even reformulates previous approaches. One of the latter cases is represented by the three new decorated caves found in 2015 in Aitzbitarte Hill. Their exhaustive study shows the presence of engraved animals, mainly bison, with formal characteristics unknown so far in the Palaeolithic art of the northern Iberian Peninsula. However, parallels are located in caves in southern France such as Gargas, Cussac, Roucadour or Cosquer. All of them share very specific graphic conventions that correspond to human occupations assigned basically to the Gravettian cultural complex. The new discovery implies the need to reformulate the iconographic exchange networks currently accepted, as well as their correspondence with other elements of the material culture at the same sites. Thus, we have carried out a multiproxy approach based in statistical analysis. The updated data reveals a greater complexity in artistic expression during the Gravettian that had not been considered so far, and also challenges the traditional isolation that had been granted to Cantabrian symbolic expressions during pre-Magdalenian times.

“…These gracile, light-weight points were possibly hafted onto throwing spears. But there are clearly long and short Gravettes; both regular and microgravettes are recognized in the de Sonneville-Bordes/Perrot typology and Altuna and Merino 1984;Altuna et al 1985Altuna et al , 1990Barandianin et al 1985;Corch6n 1981;Gonzklez Echegaray and Barandiara"n 1981;Gonzilez Echegaray and Freeman 1971;Moure and Cano 1976;Straus 1988;Straus and Clark 1986;Utrilla 1982. are described by Bricker and David (1984) at the Abri Pataud, where there is evidence of decreasing size for both types through time (see also Harrold, this volume). There are also some bone, antler, and ivory points in the Gravettian.…”

There is extensive evidence of subsistence intensification by Upper Paleolithic people in Europe, particularly based on the records from Spain, France, Belgium, and Germany. In addition to diversifying their subsistence base wherever and whenever possible, Upper Paleolithic hunters made efficient use of landforms and developed new types of weapon-delivery systems to procure large numbers of herd game. In so doing, they seem to have preferentially chosen to inhabit regions with significant hills and valleys. This allowed them to channel game movements and to hinder or trap herds, thereby facilitating mass kills. Specific physical features (rivers, cliffs, gorges, box canyons, blind valleys, etc.) were of proven use especially to late Upper Paleolithic hunters in their planned, scheduled mass kills of such species as horse, reindeer, red deer, bison, and ibex. The most dynamic component of Upper Paleolithic technologies was weaponry. New types of weapon tips, shafts, hafts, and propulsion devices were developed at an everaccelerating rate throughout the Upper Paleolithic and into the Mesolithic, between at least 35,000-40,000 BP and ca. 7000 BP.
