The Aurignacian in northern Bosnia revisited [PDF]
Studia Praehistorica, 2023 Northern Bosnia is characterized by a large concentration of Paleolithic open-air sites; among them, 13 were dated as Early Upper Paleolithic or Aurignacian. This paper will consider their discovery, excavation, and publication in the second half of the

Radiocarbon dating the Aurignacian sequence at Isturitz (France): Implications for the timing and development of the Protoaurignacian and Early Aurignacian in western Europe [PDF]
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018 Abstract The site of Isturitz is clearly important to discussions of the emergence and development of the Aurignacian. It bears a long stratigraphic sequence of this period and has benefited from recent excavation and analysis. In this paper we present 18 new AMS radiocarbon dates (Normand excavation), covering the majority of the Aurignacian ...

Reconstructing flexible pathways of Aurignacian blade and bladelet production at Vogelherd. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe beginning of the Upper Paleolithic represents a key period in human history. At this time, we can grasp the technological concepts that Homo sapiens used in the early Upper Paleolithic.

A pre-Campanian Ignimbrite techno-cultural shift in the Aurignacian sequence of Grotta di Castelcivita, southern Italy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Aurignacian is the first European technocomplex assigned to Homo sapiens recognized across a wide geographic extent. Although archaeologists have identified marked chrono-cultural shifts within the Aurignacian mostly by examining the techno ...

The use of carinated items in the Levantine Aurignacian-Insights from layer D, Hayonim Cave, W. Galilee, Israel. [PDF]
PLoS ONEA longstanding debate concerns the function of carinated elements in both, the Levantine, and European Aurignacian. The present study aims to contribute to this topic with the evaluation of the carinated assemblage from layer D in Hayonim Cave, Western ...

Aurignacian dynamics in Southeastern Europe based on spatial analysis, sediment geochemistry, raw materials, lithic analysis, and use-wear from Românești-Dumbrăvița [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The Aurignacian is one of the first cultural-technological traditions commonly associated with the expansion of Homo sapiens in Europe. Early Homo sapiens demographics across the continent are therefore typically inferred using the distribution of ...

Reconstruction of human dispersal during Aurignacian on pan-European scale [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe Aurignacian is the first techno-complex related with certainty to Anatomically Modern Humans in Europe. Studies show that they appeared around 43-42 kyr cal BP and dispersed rapidly in Europe during the Upper Palaeolithic. However, human dispersal is
