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 Layer III. The apparent relatively young age of Layer III has led some to view it as the latest manifestation of the Streletskian, although its assemblage has also been compared to the non-Streletskian Layer I of Kostёnki 8, with the two described together as the Anosovka-Tel’manskaya Culture.Radiocarbon dates of 24–23,000 bp (c. 28,500–27,000 cal bp) for a wolf burial associated with Layer III of Kostёnki 11 confirm the layer as younger than other Streletskian assemblages at Kostёnki. New radiocarbon dates for Kostёnki 8 Layer I show that the two layers are broadly contemporary, and that both are close in age to assemblages of Kostёnki’s (Late Gravettian) Kostёnki-Avdeevo Culture. In the light of these new radiocarbon dates the context of the Streletskian point from Kostёnki 11 Layer III is considered. Although firm conclusions are not possible, unresolved stratigraphic problems and the lack of technological context for this single artefact at the very least leave a question mark over its association with other material from the layer.

“…Shouldered points were found at all of these sites, and they have other lithic techno-typological features in common. Female figures were found at Kostënki 1/I, 13, Avdeevo and Zaraisk (Abramova 1995;Amirkhanov and Lev 2008). Long lines of hearths associated with pits were also found at Kostënki 1/I, Avdeevo and Zaraisk (Efimenko 1958;Bulochnikova 2008;Amirkhanov 2009).…”

Interpretations of the European Upper Paleolithic archaeological record have long relied on concepts of past populations. In particular, cultural taxonomic units-which are used as a framework for describing the archaeological record-are commonly equated with past populations. However, our cultural taxonomy is highly historically contingent, and does not necessarily accurately reflect variation in the archaeological record. Furthermore, we lack a secure theoretical basis for the inference of populations from taxonomic units. In order to move past these problems and satisfactorily address questions of Upper Paleolithic 2 populations, we need to entirely revise our approach to chronocultural framework building. Here, I outline a specific way of describing the archaeological record that deliberately avoids the use of cultural taxonomic units and instead concentrates on individual features of material culture. This approach may provide a more appropriate basis for the archaeological study of Upper Paleolithic populations and for comparison with genetic data.

La région de Kostienki comporte 26 sites paléolithiques dont la moitié contient plusieurs couches arc h é o l o g i q u e s . Cet ensemble représente actuellement plus de 50 niveaux d'habitat en position stratigraphique. Une telle concentration est exceptionnelle, mais elle n'est pas unique, des densités comparables sont connues par exemple dans la région des Eyzies en Dordogne ou dans la région de Pavlov en Moravie. Ce qui est pro p r e à Kostienki est un modèle particulier d'évolution culturelle, distinct de celui d ' a u t r es régions du monde paléolithique. En dépit d'une faible superficie, de l'ord r e de 20 kilomètres carrés, par r a p p o rt aux vastes zones de steppe du Dniepr moyen ou de l'Oural, la région de Kostienki-Borschevo constitue une véritable province au sein du monde paléolithique de l ' E u r ope de l'Est.La province de Kostienki fait partie du monde paléolithique e u r opéen, clairement distincte du monde Sibérien et du monde d'Asie centrale. C'est actuellement l'avancée la plus orientale de la manifestation du modèle général européen de l'évolution, dans laquelle sont présents des caract è r es pro p r es à l'Europe en association avec des part i c ularités locales spécifiques. -KOSTIENKI ( f i g . ) 2Vers 1950-1960, les ensembles culturels des sites de Kostienki-Borschevo étaient répartis par A.N. Rogatchev (1957) en trois groupes chronologiques d'après leurs positions géologiques. Deux groupes anciens étaient liés à
