Modern human settlement in Ukraine and its vicinity dates back to 32,000 BC, with evidence of the Gravettian culture in the Crimean Mountains. |
In all cases, the art of Chauvet can be attributed to the Gravettian, Solutrean and Magdalenian. |
This culture soon superseded the Solutrean area and the Gravettian of mainly France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Ukraine. |
The study of the lithic industries showed that the Gravettian culture appeared earlier than it was thought or 35 000 years ago. |
Although they were originally mostly considered Aurignacian, the majority are now associated with the Gravettian and Solutrean. |
It will be shown that all evidence from the cave indicates artistic activity over several phases from the Gravettian to Early Magdalenian. |
