“…Goren-Inbar et al 1994) or by removing the occipital bones, a method likely practiced at the Epigravettian Yudinovo site (Russian Plain), where several mammoth skulls lack the occipital bone and present an open braincase, facilitatingaccess to the brain(Germonpré et al 2008). Three cutmarked mammoth phalanges found at the French cave site of Grotte du Renne (Arcy-sur-Cure) indicate the willingness of Gravettian people to skin and/or disarticulate mammoth feet(Goutas and Lacarrière 2018).…”

The Late Gravettian Site of Kostënki 21 Layer III, Russia: a Chronocultural Reassessment Based on a New Interpretation of the Significance of Intra-site Spatial Patterning

The site of Kostënki 21 (also known as Gmelin or Gmelinskaia) is located on the very edge of the Don River at Kostënki (Voronezh Oblast, Russia). The main archaeological horizon, layer III, is dated to c. 23,000-21,000 14 C BP (c. 27,500-24,500 cal BP) and contained six concentrations of archaeological material, mostly interpreted as the remains of dwelling structures. A substantial Gravettian lithic assemblage was found. The site has traditionally been seen as without parallels within the Gravettian chronocultural framework of Eastern Europe. It has long been noted that clear differences in the lithic typology and faunal assemblages of the six concentrations can be used to separate them into two groups, but this has previously been attributed to differences in the activities carried out in the two areas. In this paper, we argue that the two parts of the site were created at different times and that one part of the site can potentially be grouped with several other sites in Russia and Ukraine on lithic technotypological grounds. The degree of patination of the flint artefacts found at the site provides support for our interpretation.
