“…The dates from the lower layer complex, between 30.0 and 28.5 ka cal BP, are older than the age estimated by the biostratigraphy (Dobosi and Vörös 1987;Dobosi and Szántó 2003). These ages are in agreement with the Late Gravettian cultural affiliation (Lengyel 2016).…”

The Middle Upper Palaeolithic (MUP) in eastern Central Europe (ECE) comprises three variants of Gravettian culture: Early Gravettian, Pavlovian, and Late Gravettian. While Early Gravettian and Pavlovian are merely located in Lower Austria and Moravia, the Late Gravettian occupations occurred over the entire territory of ECE. Compared to the number of sites the radiocarbon dating and the absolute chronology of the Late Gravettian is rather poor. The results presented here bring a new set of radiocarbon (14C) dates for the Late Gravettian period in ECE and propose that this period began and ended earlier than previously suggested.

“…In ECE, most of the Epigravettian sites were found in the Carpathian Basin (CB), especially in Hungary (Lengyel, 2018;Lengyel and Wilczyński, 2018). The Hungarian research previously recognized two chronological clusters of Epigravettian: (1) late LGM sites between 18 and and 16 ka uncal BP (Dobosi, 2000) featuring an expedient lithic technology (Dobosi, 2004(Dobosi, , 2009, and (2) post LGM sites between 16 and 12 ka uncal BP called "Epigravettian rich in blunted blades" (Dobosi, 2004).…”

Zöld Cave is a recently discovered Late Epigravettian site in Hungary. It yielded a small archaeological collection dated to 17.0-14.9 ka cal BP. The findings consists of faunal remains of horse and reindeer bearing extensive marks of human activity, and lithic artifacts of hunting Manuscript File Click here to view linked References armature types, including curved backed points, backed truncated bladelets, and backed bladelet, typical for a Late Epigravettian tool inventory. The archeozoological results indicate the cave was used as a hunting-butchering site. The Late Epigravettian archaeological record of eastern Central Europe suggests that this human population of hunter-gatherers practiced a residentially mobile subsistence strategy. Our results indicate that the Late Epigravettian population of eastern Central Europe did not disappear without descendants but likely contributed to the formation of the Federmesser culture.

“…Traces of Magdalenian origin are completely absent there, and instead, Epigravettian settlements are present, e.g. at Moravany-Żakovska and Lopata (Hromada and Kozłowski 1995;Kazior et al 1998), Sagvar (Lengyel 2016), but these sites do not show strong settlement dynamics and are very dispersed over time.…”

There is a widespread belief that the abrupt warming at 14.7 ka had a profound impact on the environment. However, the direct correlation between the global climatic event and changes in local environments is not obvious. We examined faunal succession in an intra-mountain basin of the Western Carpathians to assess the potential influence of the climatic change between Greenland Stadial-2a and Greenland Interstadial-1e on the local environment. We investigated three vertebrate assemblages (total number of identified specimens = 18,745; minimum number of individuals = 7515; 138 taxa) from Obłazowa Cave (western entrance) and a Rock overhang in Cisowa Rock, radiocarbon dated to the period before and after the global warming, between ca. 17.0 and 14.0 ka. Our data revealed that the major abrupt warming that occurred 14.7 ka had little impact on the local environment, which could suggest that ecosystems in Central Europe were resilient to the abrupt global climate changes. The increase in fauna population sizes and species diversities in local biotopes was gradual and began long before the temperature increase. This was supported by the analysis of ancient DNA of Microtus arvalis, which showed a gradual increase in effective population size after 19.0 ka. The results of palaeoclimatic reconstruction pointed out that the compared sites were characterized by similar climatic conditions. According to our calculations, the differences in the annual mean temperatures did not exceed 0.5°C and mean This article is part of the Topical Collection on Post-glacial human subsistence and settlement patterns Anna Lemanik and Mateusz Baca contributed equally and should be regarded as joint first authors.
