CRC 806 “Our Way to Europe” – Project E1 Population Dynamics: Demographic Changes of Hunter-Gatherer Populations during the Upper Pleistocene and Early Holocene in Europe Principal Investigator: Prof. Dr Andreas Zimmermann PostDoc: Dr Isabell Schmidt Database of georeferenced Aurignacian sites located across western and central Europe. Updated version (March 2021).

The data set contains information on Mesolithic sites in Franconia and adjacent regions. Site IDs (column A) are structured regionally. Sites with 1001-1304 are located in Lower Franconia and directly adjacent areas. 2001-2097 are based on the activities of one private collector surveying a microregion in Middle Franconia over a period of 40 years. 3001-3015 are taken from Robert Graf (2010) Das Mesolithikum im Landkreis Kronach. Unpublished Magister thesis, University of Munich. 4001-4032 are based on the...

The dataset comprises site-locations for the Final Palaeoltihc of Europe. For questions and comments contact: Isabell Schmidt isabell.schmidt@uni-koeln.de

The dataset provides data on raw-material-polygons from the Final Palaeolithic of Europe. It contains a) an excel-sheet with data and references; b) a ziped shape-file on georeferenced source-site-distances; c) a ziped shape-file on georeferenced raw material polygons.

The general objective of this thesis has been to better understand the regional diversity of Central European Magdalenian (CEM) hunter-gatherer groups and thereby to gain a more profound comprehension of Late Upper Palaeolithic interaction networks and of the spatio-temporal processes during the recolonisation of Central Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum. In addition, this study aimed at a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge about the CEM and the provision of a detailed compilation...

This PhD-thesis investigated the demography of Late Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer populations, when Europe was repopulated after the Last Glacial Maximum. The study deals with estimations of regional differentiated population densities and associated settlement patterns. A method based on GIS techniques is used to upscale archaeological data from key sites and regions to culturally homogenous contextual areas in Europe. Based on the spatial density of Late Upper Palaeolithic sites, GIS-calculated...
