The six objects attributed to the Eastern Gravettian are made in stone (3) and bone (3). The exhaustive systematic analysis of traces has allowed for the first time the restitution of "chaine opératoire" of manufacture of the bone pendant from Mitoc and the engraving sophisticated decoration of the bone pendant from Tibrinu. This last object is a unicum for this part of Europe. The two Epigravettian pendants (one simple in bone and other decorated in red-deer antler) were recuperated from the shelter Dubova - Cuina Turcului. The study contributes essentially to the definition in actual terms of typology and technology of oldest adornment from Romania as material expression of first spiritual manifestations of hunter-gatherer communities and allowed to integrate the data of the phenomenon in the European context.

Flint materials from north and east of the arch of the Carpathians are also present in the Middle and Late Upper Palaeolithic record of Hungary, especially in Gravettian and Epigravettian assemblages. Distant raw materials are often indicative of connections between remote areas. The Hungarian archaeological record shows that from ca. 28 to 13 k years BP there is decrease in the proportions of distant flints at the Last Glacial Maximum. The highest ratio of distant materials appears after the withdrawal of the ice sheet between 17 and 13 k years BP. Therefore climatic conditions seem to have influenced distant connections. Connections could have been direct, and the distant flints in the archaeological assemblage represents an adherence to high quality materials.
