Gravettian sites

Gravettian sites are archaeological locations associated with the Gravettian culture, an Upper Paleolithic society that existed around 28,000 to 22,000 years ago in Europe. These sites often contain tools made from stone, bone, and ivory, as well as evidence of hunting and sheltering activities. They provide insight into early human life, showcasing advanced tool-making techniques, such as blade-based tools, and artistic expressions like figurines. By studying these sites, researchers learn about how early humans adapted to cold climates, organized their communities, and developed culture during the late Ice Age.
