The Late Middle Paleolithic blade technologies and the transition to the Upper Paleolithic in Southern Poland : TL dating contribution

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: Recent investigations at the open-air site of Piekary II, located on a terrace of the Vistula River near Kraków, yielded abundant data concerning the stratigraphy, chronology, technological patterns, and human behavior during the Middle Paleolithic to Upper Paleolithic transition in southern Poland. TL dates on burnt flints from the cultural levels indicate that between 60 and 35/32 ky early blade production was accompanied by Middle Paleolithic technologies and followed by a local Early-Upper Paleolithic and the Aurignacian, ca. 32-31 ky.
