“…The observations on the Buran-Kaya III materials are consistent with previous studies documenting the low frequency of enamel hypoplasia during the Early Upper Palaeolithic [67][68][69][70][71]. Our results confirm the low occurrence of dental pathologies, such as caries, as well as low levels of physiological stress during this period [65] (Figure 5).…”

“…Here we report the main results we obtained for layer 6-1, which yielded the richest assemblage in terms of the number of human remains (NR=164), the number of individuals (MNI=5) and anatomical parts. These remains mostly consist of cranial parts (NR=114) and teeth (NR=41, [65].…”

“…Based on the study of enamel dental hypoplasia (a nonspecific biomarker), the health of these individuals was good [65]. Physiological stress occurs only in the youngest individuals in their early childhood (~3 years).…”

The arrival of modern humans into Europe, their dispersal and their potential interactions with Neanderthals are still in debate. Whereas the first appearance of anatomically modern humans in Western Europe seems to be well understood, the situation is quite different for Eastern Europe, where data are more scarce. The Buran-Kaya III site in Crimea is of key importance to understand the colonization of Europe by anatomically modern humans and their potential contemporaneity with the last Neanderthal occupations. The new radiocarbon dated sequence shows that no Neanderthal settlement existed after 39 ka cal BP and casts doubt on the survival, as previously proposed, of Neanderthal refuge zones in Crimea 28 ka BP ago (34-32 ka cal BP). The human remains from Buran-Kaya III, directly dated to 32450 +250/-230 BP (layer 6-2) and 31900+/-220 BP (layer 6-1) (37.1-35.7 ka cal BP and 36.3-35.2 cal BP respectively), represent some of the oldest evidence of anatomically modern humans in Europe in a unique welldocumented archaeological context (Gravettian). Furthermore, the specimens from layer 6-1 represent the oldest Upper Palaeolithic modern humans from Eastern Europe with evidence of post-mortem treatment of the dead.
