The Great North Black Sea region Early Upper Paleolithic and human migrations into the region from different territories

The Great North Black Sea region envelopes very most of the south of Eastern Europe. The Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) starts at ca. 36 ky BP uncalibrated and Late Middle Paleolithic (LMP) only survives until ca. 36 – 35 ky BP uncalibrated there. The EUP period in Great North Black Sea region (ca. 36 – 28 000 BP uncalibrated) is represented by a series of various industries : “Eastern Szeletian” and “Streletskaya culture”, Proto-Aurignacian, Southern Caucasus EUP, Late / Evolved Aurignacian, Levantine Aurignacian A, B & C types. The conducted comparative analyses allowed me to propose the following 8 (eight) EUP human migrations into the Great North Black Sea region : from the North, from East European Plain – for “Eastern Szeletian” and “Streletskaya culture” migration; from the West, from Europe – for two Proto-Aurignacian and one Late / Evolved Aurignacian migrations ; from the South, from Caucasus – for Southern Caucasus EUP migration ; from the South, from the Levant – for Levantine Aurignacian A, B & C migrations. As a result, the south of Eastern Europe was indeed a crossroad for a “crowd” of various EUP human communities.
