Our understanding of the Aurignacian/Gravettian transition has changed focus during the last decade: while former investigations mainly tried to define technotypological units of artefact types and their evolutionary macrotrends, the evaluation of geoscientific data in improved chronological frameworks now provide surprising potential. Specifying the data record can at the very least contribute to the question of a possible “late Aurignacian” or “Epi-Aurignacian” (Kozlowski 1996, 1999) in Eastern Europe, and may even offer some new scenarios of that cultural change.
