The Gravettian (ca. 30.000-20.000 years before present) is one of the most significant periods in human evolution, when important components in the domains of technology, economy, ideology and social organization, either flourish and become resolutely established, or appear for the first time in human history. While this period is well-known from sites in much of Europe, it remains ill-defined in the Southern Balkan peninsula. The investigations carried out by the GRAVETTIAN project aim at filling this research gap.
