Gravettian culture
The Gravettian culture was a prehistoric human society that existed in Europe and parts of Asia around 29,000 to 22,000 years ago, during the Upper Paleolithic era. Characterized by sophisticated hunting techniques, they crafted specialized tools, including pointed blades and burins, from flint. They are known for their distinctive art, such as carved figurines and cave paintings. Gravettian people likely lived in small, mobile groups and relied on various animals for food, adapting to changing environments. Their advancements in technology and artistic expression laid important foundations for later human cultures.
