The three waves: Rethinking the structure of the first Upper Paleolithic in Western Eurasia (IMAGE)
Caption
The paper provides evidence for 3 distinct waves of early migration of Sapiens in Europe from the East Mediterranean coast. The image shows 3 technical traditions of each of these Sapiens migrations. Phase 1, around the 54th millennium, is represented by the Neronian/Initial Upper Paleolithic; phase 2 by the Châtelperronian/Early Upper Paleolithic around the 45th millennium, and phase 3 by the Protoaurignacian/Southern Early Ahmarian around the 42nd millennium.
