Overview It is one of a number of caves where Anatomically modern humans Early modern humans early modern humans in the Aurignacian , between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago left traces of early prehistoric art artwork , including the Vogelherd , Brillenh hle , Gro e Grotte , Hohle Fels and Hohlenstein Stadel caves. Gei enkl sterle was first archaeologically explored in 1963. Systematic excavations began in 1973, from 1974 to 2002 sponsored by the land of Baden W rttemberg . A 1983 monographical publication summarized the results up to that time. The cave has six levels belonging to the Aurignacian and seven levels of the Gravettian , besides earlier levels belonging to the Middle Paleolithic and later ones spanning the Magdalenian down to the Middle Ages. The Aurignacian levels date to between 36,000 and 32,000 years ago, and yielded stone tools, artefacts made from antlers, bones and ivory. Among the most notable items are a sculpture of a Paleolithic flutes flute s of bird bone and mammoth ivory, the prehistoric music oldest known musical instruments .

The Emirian culture represents the transition between the Middle Paleolithic and the Upper Paleolithic in the Levant Syria , Lebanon , Palestine . The Emirian culture apparently developed from the local Mousterian without rupture, keeping numerous elements of the Levalloise Mousterian, together with the locally typical but not frequent point known as Emireh point . There are also numerous stone blade tools, including some curved knives similar to those found in the Chatelperronian culture of Western Europe. The Emirian eventually evolved into the Antelian culture, still of Levalloise tradition but with some Aurignacian influences. See also Upper Paleolithic References M. H. Alimen and M. J.

Unreferenced date August 2009 P rigordian is a term for several distinct but related Upper Upper Palaeolithic archaeological culture cultures which are thought by some archaeologists to represent a contiguous tradition . It existed between c.35,000 BP and c.20,000 BP. The earliest culture in the tradition is known as the Ch telperronian which produced denticulate tool s and distinctive flint knives. It is argued that this was superseded by the Gravettian with its Font Robert points and Noailles burin s. The tradition culminated in the proto Magdalenian . Critics have pointed out that no continuous sequence of P rigordian occupation has yet been found and that the tradition requires it to have co existed separately from the Aurignacian industry rather than being differing industries that existed before and afterwards.

Hallam Leonard Movius 1907 1987 was an United States of America American archaeologist most famous for his work on the palaeolithic period. He was born in Newton, Massachusetts and became a professor of archaeology at Harvard University in 1930. Later he was also a curator at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology . In 1948 he proposed the existence of a Movius Line dividing the Acheulean tool users of Europe, Africa and western Asia from the chopping tool industries of East Asia. He also studied the Perigordian and Aurignacian cultures of Palaeolithic France , excavating at the rock shelter of Les Eyzies in the Dordogne from 1958 to 1973.

The Upper Paleolithic cave site of Yafteh located at the foot of Yafteh Mountain at NW of Khoramabad at Western Zagros . The site was located and later excavated by two American archaeologists, Frank Hole and Kent Flannery in 1960 s. The site contained a thick Upper Paleolithic sequence which yielded Early Upper Paleolithic industry rich in bladelets and tools made of them. A number of C14 dating C14 dates indicate that the site was occupied mainly between 30 to 35 thousands years ago. Hole and Flannery published some results of their excavation at Yafteh in a general paper about their excavations in prehistoric sites in Luristan and Dehluran. The lithic assemblages from 1967 excavations was re analyzed in 2005 by Bordes & Shidrang and later these assemblages were the main subject of a MA thesis in 2007. The site was re excavated in 2005 by a joint Belgian Iranian team directed by Marcel Otte and Fereidoun Biglari and recently excavated again by Otte and Sonia Shidrang in 2008. Yafteh has yielded the largest number of C14 dates from a single Paleolithic site in Iran that are clustered around 28 35 thousands years ago. A rich collection of ornament s made of marine shells, tooth and hematite has been discovered in the early Upper Paleolithic deposits in both early and recent excavations in the Yafteh cave. This rich collection was analyzed and published by Sonia Shidrang in the Iranian Journal of Archaeology and History.

It is believed to be one of the earliest known sites containing Upper Paleolithic technologies including Aurignacian . Artifacts recovered from the site include shells with holes and chipped edge modifications that are suggested to have been used as pendants or beads. These indicate that the inhabitants were among the first in Western Eurasia to use personal ornaments. Results from radiocarbon dating indicate that the early humans may have lived at the site approximately 45,000 years ago or earlier.The presence of personal ornaments at Ksar Akil is suggestive of modern human behavior .

Whereas this term is often used for any unifacially flaked stone tool that defies classification, most Lithic analysis lithic analysts maintain that the only true scrapers are defined on the base of use wear, and usually are those that were worked on the distal ends of blade archaeology blade s i.e., end scraper s or grattoir s. Other scrapers include the so called side scrapers or racloir s, which are made on the longest side of a Lithic flake flake , and notched scrapers , which have a cleft on either side that may have been used to attach them to something else. Most scrapers are either oval or blade like in shape. The working edges of scrapers tend to be convex, and many have trimmed and dulled lateral edges to facilitate hafting. One important variety of scraper is the thumbnail scraper , a scraper shaped much like its namesake. This scraper type is common at Paleo Indian sites in North America .
