“…45 ka in the Levant (Belfer- Cohen and Gorring Morris, 2003), and a similar age in the Siberian Altaï (Derevianko et al, 2000;Zwyns et al, 2012) as well as some central and eastern Europe tradition (Bohunician) (Svoboda and Skrdla, 1995;Tostevin, 2000;Svoboda and Bar-Yosef, 2003;Neruda and Nerudov a, 2013;Kuhn and Zwyns, 2014). These IUP sites and assemblages are argued to represent an early transitional period sharing MP (volumetric flat surface debitage, Levallois type) traits with UP ones (volumetric reduction, comprising blade and bladelet production).…”

“…Human fossils are rare, and therefore diagnosing the authorship of these lithic assemblages is the focus of extensive debate. Similarly, the dating of modern human dispersal and population replacement is the subject to ongoing research and debate (Tostevin, 2000;Svoboda and BarYosef, 2003;Bar-Yosef and Bordes, 2010;Banks et al, 2013;BarYosef and Belfer-Cohen, 2013;Neruda and Nerudov a, 2013;Higham et al, 2013Higham et al, , 2014Villa and Roebroeks, 2014;Discamps et al, 2015;Hublin, 2015;Ruebens et al, 2015).…”

“…During the last decade, new radiometric dates, the revision of old dates and the discovery of new sites, have all helped to tentatively clarify the timing and distribution of these phases and regional and pan-regional transitions (see Zilhao and d 'Errico, 2000'Errico, , 2003Bocquet-Appel and Demars, 2000;Meignen, 2002Meignen, , 2006Bar-Yosef et al, 2006;Mellars, 2006;Teyssandier, 2008;Neruda and Nerudov a, 2013). Additionally, recent broad consideration of updated chronological data has led to the suggestion that AMH responded to climatic and environmental changes during Greenland Interstadials 10-9 and Heinrich Event 4, with an ecocultual niche expansion (with use of material culture to expand the exploitated niche) (Banks et al, 2013, but see Higham et al, 2013).…”

“…The Bükk Mountains have also produced two possible early modern humans, but these are poorly understood due to crude excavation techniques and radiocarbon contamination issues (Lengyel and Mester 2008;Neruda and Nerudova 2013). At Istállóskő, a lower right second molar of a juvenile was found in one of the hearths in the lowest Aurignacian layer (Vértes 1955) that was dated to 34 ka cal BP on associated antler points (Davies and Hedges 2008), but it is unclear if the tooth can be ascribed to modern humans (Malán 1955;Tillier et al 2006).…”

The Danube Corridor Hypothesis and the Carpathian Basin: Geological, Environmental and Archaeological Approaches to Characterizing Aurignacian Dynamics

Early Upper Paleolithic sites in the Danube catchment have been put forward as evidence that the river was an important conduit for modern humans during their initial settlement of Europe. Central to this model is the Carpathian Basin, a region covering most of the Middle Danube. As the archaeological record of this region is still poorly understood, this paper aims to provide a contextual assessment of the Carpathian Basin's geological and paleoenvironmental archives, starting with the late Upper Pleistocene. Subsequently, it compiles early Upper Paleolithic data from the region to provide a synchronic appraisal of the Aurignacian archaeological evidence. It then uses this data to test whether the relative absence of early Upper Paleolithic sites is obscured by a taphonomic bias. Finally, it reviews current knowledge of the Carpathian Basin's archaeological record and concludes that, while it cannot reject the Danube corridor hypothesis, further (geo) archaeological work is required to understand the link between the Carpathian Basin and Central and Southeastern Europe.

We stud ied speleothem-frac tur ing styles and their tec tonic con text in three cave sys tems sit u ated in the east ern Bo he mian Mas sif, close to the West ern Carpathians orogenic front: the Za hájovnou, Javoříčko, and Mladeč caves. The mor phol ogy of the speleothems in par tic u larly thin sta lac tites, and sup port ing ev i dence from the cave in te rior, in di cates a tec tonic or i gin of the break age. U/Th se ries dat ing of the sta lac tites, sup ported by Op ti cally Stim u lated Luminiscence (OSL) and 14 C dat ing of soft sed i ments in di cate that most of the frac tur ing oc curred in the Up per Pleis to cene, with the last frac tur ing events cor respond ing to MIS6 and MIS5 stages. OSL dat ing of faulted soft-sed i ment infill may even in di cate that lat est Pleis to cene to Early Ho lo cene tec tonic events oc curred in the Mladeč Cave. The speleothem frac tur ing is dis cussed in the re gional con text of the seis mi cally ac tive Nysa-Morava Zone sit u ated at the junc tion be tween the Bo he mian Mas sif (Elbe Fault Zone) and the West ern Carpathians. This study pro vides the first ev i dence of palaeoseismicity from the subsurface and the old est dated palaeoseismicity from the con tact be tween the West ern Carpathians and the Bo he mian Mas sif.
