- Abstract:
- We will use radiocarbon dating, as well as other radiometric techniques, of carefully selected material to establish a reliable chronology of the spatial and temporal distribution of Aurignacian behaviour in Central Europe. These results will be used to test different models of origins and dispersal of Anatomically-modern Humans in Europe. The models will be developed to take account of climatic model simulations (Stage 3 Project) in conjunction with available environmental data and reconstructions. We aim to test three explicit hypotheses embodies in the models (see main text) and to examine critically assumptions concerning defining characteristics of the Aurignacian.
