Upper Paleolithic Movement and Trade as Represented at the Abri Kontija 002 Rockshelter Site

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Recent Research on the Paleolithic in the Mediterranean Region" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Abri Kontija 002 rockshelter and cave located in the Istria Peninsula of Croatia provides a wealth of archaeological material dating to the Upper Paleolithic. Excavations beginning in 2014 produced several thousand artifacts, some of which can be traced to distant sources. This paper presents recently identified evidence providing insights into movement or trade among Upper Paleolithic peoples living in and around the Po Valley. Additionally, research at the Abri Kontija 002 site in the areas of sediment DNA, geoarchaeology, geophysical prospecting, and 3D scanning further inform our understanding of local and regional patterns.
