Ukrainian Upper Palaeolithic Between 40/10.000 Bp : Current Insights Into Environmental-Climatic Change And Cultural Development
Dynamics of cultural development and patterns of land colonisation are discussed in their relation on environmental change in course of second half of OIS 3 and OIS 2. Accordingly to Ukrainian scheme of stratigraphical subdivision, this period embraces Bug, Dofinovka, and Prichernomorie intervals. S...

Dynamics of cultural development and patterns of land colonisation are discussed in their relation on environmental change in course of second half of OIS 3 and OIS 2. Accordingly to Ukrainian scheme of stratigraphical subdivision, this period embraces Bug, Dofinovka, and Prichernomorie intervals. Seven chronological periods are analysed, namely 40/32, 32/28, 28/22, 22/19, 19/18, 18/13, and 13/10.000 BP. Period roughly between 40 and 25.000 BP is characterised by presence of technomorphologically variable Middle and Upper Palaeolithic industries, often overlapping spatially and temporally. Period between 25 and 13.000 BP is characterised by chronologically gradual substitution of distinct industries, while pattern of coexisting but technomorphologically particular industries again is typical for the period after 13.000 BP. Biological and mineral resources were not dispersed evenly through the territory under consideration. Areas with rich and predictable resources of both kinds were associated mainly with the extreme south and west of territory of modern Ukraine. Patterns of land colonisation either by MP or UP occupants between 40-22.000 BP demonstrate strong association of populated areas with regions of higher biodiversity and richness of lithic raw materials.
