Description

The recently excavated Epigravettian site of Grubgraben (Lower Austria) is of exceptional significance for understanding human adaptations during the last Glacial Maximum. An analysis of interassemblage variability reveals several local, organizational responses by hunter-gatherer systems to the return of severe ice-age conditions following a relatively mild climatic oscillation.
