The Upper Paleolithic Sites

1995
Ironically, our understanding of the Levantine Upper Paleolithic is not as well developed as that of the preceding Middle Paleolithic.

Southern Asia Upper Paleolithic

2002
The Upper Paleolithic climate in Southern Asia ranged, in general, from Mediterranean to arid and relatively hot. Periodic cycles of dry and humid conditions are suggested by some climatic studies in the region. Forests covered much of the area in the early Holocene, being replaced by grasslands later in the tradition.
