“…Through combining microscopic analysis (Lbova & Volkov, 2016 ; Lbova et al, 2017 ) with modern ethnographic data, it can be proposed that the analysis of these mobile art objects is not only a source of information for the particular material culture of this Paleolithic population of Siberia, but also enlightens the semantic context of mobile art in Mal'ta.…”

The beginning of the Upper Paleolithic in Siberia, at least, dates back to about 47,000 years ago. While there are debates about how the Initial Upper Paleolithic emerged and which human species it should be associated with, many material culture elements that point to "symbolic behavior" were found from the cultural layers where blade-based stone industries were exposed from the beginning of that phase. From the beginning of the Initial Upper Paleolithic in Siberia, the occurrence of many elements defined under the concepts of "modern behavior" (or "behavioral modernity"), and a subset of it, "symbolic behavior", which are associated with the spread of anatomically modern humans to Eurasia, can be seen as an important support for the attribution of the new culture to modern human populations. In this article, I tried to examine the hypotheses and problems about the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic in Siberia; findings and prominent examples indicating the "symbolic behavior" seen during the Upper Paleolithic as categorized them under the headings of the evidences that related burial and belief system and the findings including ornaments and jewelry, portable art objects, two-dimensional depictions on osseous plates, rock and cave arts.

“…Over the past 2 million years, members of our lineage have produced punctures on bone when attempting to break it to access marrow, knapping it to shape bone tools, or using bone as a hammer or retoucher to shape or retouch stone tools (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Since the beginning of the European Upper Palaeolithic, puncture alignments are found on carvings, pendants, and other fully shaped osseous artifacts (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43). Such marks were often interpreted as abstract decorations, possibly signaling group membership (39,44).…”

Puncture alignments are found on Palaeolithic carvings, pendants, and other fully shaped osseous artifacts. These marks were interpreted as abstract decorations, system of notations, and features present on human and animal depictions. Here, we create an experimental framework for the analysis and interpretation of human-made punctures and apply it to a highly intriguing, punctured bone fragment found at Canyars, an Early Upper Palaeolithic coastal site from Catalonia, Spain. Changes of tool and variation in the arrangement and orientation of punctures are consistent with the interpretation of this object as the earliest-known leather work punch board recording six episodes of hide pricking, one of which was to produce a linear seam. Our results indicate that Aurignacian hunters-gatherers used this technology to produce leather works and probably tailored clothes well before the introduction of bone eyed needles in Europe 15,000 years later.
