Initial Upper Paleolithic in Moravia
Original language description
The time span (ca. 50–35 ky cal. BP) between the Middle and the Upper Paleolithic is a period in prehistory when, in the wider Eurasian context, Anatomically Modern Humans (AMH) replaced the Neanderthals. During this period, lithic technologies in Moravia are generally characterized by evolved Levallois technology in the Bohunician and bifacial reduction in the Szeletian (Škrdla 2017a,b). While the Szeletian is rooted in local MP technological traditions, the Bohunician has an intrusive character in Moravia and represents a glass in the Initial Upper Paleolithic techno-complex mosaic of sites broadly distributed over Eurasia. The Bohunician technology reconstructed on the basis of the refitted cores from Stránská skála presents a volumetric concept allowing serial production of Levallois points with blades as a secondary knapping product. The Bohunician technology shows a high degree of similarity with the material from layers 1–3 at Boker Tachtit, Israel (Škrdla 2003). In contrast to the technologically pure Bohunician collections from Stránská skála, the collection from the Bohunice type-site includes bifacial reduction and a recently described industry from Ořechov IV shows two trends – miniaturization of artifacts including Levallois points and the onset of bladelet technology.
