Raumnutzungsmuster des späten Jungpaläolithikums in Oelknitz (Thüringen)
In discussions on the evolution of human behaviour, the question of how humans moved in space plays a crucial role. The earliest evidence of behavioural patterns that can be interpreted in this sense comes from the transition from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic.
The Thuringian site of Oelknitz represents one of the most important testimonies to early social systems, which become visible as early as about 15000 years ago. The analysis of this site is able to show the variability of settlement systems in the late Upper Palaeolithic and to contribute to a much more complex understanding of settlement systems, despite the worldwide scarcity of such excellently preserved findings.
