metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article considers the chronology and distribution of the earliest blade of the Initial Upper
  Paleolithic in Central and Eastern Eurasia. Based on a review of the available evidence, it is
  concluded that the spread of the Initial Upper Paleolithic tradition is relatively rapid, with the
  difference between the older dates from the Altai Upper Paleolithic laminar assemblages (ca
  45–49 ka BP, Kara-Bom UP2 level), and the younger dates from the industries east of Altai is
  minimal, and most often does not exceed one-two thousand years. Initial Upper Paleolithic
  industries replace Late Middle Paleolithic complexes on their way from the Altai. The early
  Initial Upper Paleolithic assemblages from Central Eurasia, being close in age, show a significant
  degree of technological and typological similarity, which may indicate the transfer of the
  tradition in its entirety. The earliest Initial Upper Paleolithic assemblages of Central Eurasia
  are synchronous, or slightly younger than the early Emiran Upper Paleolithic industries from
  the Boker Tachtit site in the Levant. The Initial Upper Paleolithic industries on the assumed
  route of dispersal between the Levant and Central Asia are unknown. At the same time, the
  earliest European Initial Upper Paleolithic can also be seen as an example of a rapid and directed
  transfer of Initial Upper Paleolithic cultural traditions from the Levant to the Balkans and to Central and Western Europe. The article suggests that the same scenario of the spread
  of the Initial Upper Paleolithic tradition, supposedly associated with the dispersal of the anthropologically
  modern type of humans, could also take place in the central part of Eurasia,
  where the territory of the mountains and foothills of Central Asia and South Siberia could
  become the center of Initial Upper Paleolithic formation.

metadata.value: Investigation of techno-typological composition of Initial Upper Paleolithic complexes was supported
  by the Russian Science Foundation within the framework of scientific research “The formation of Initial
  Upper Paleolithic culture in eastern Central Asia and South Siberia: polycentrism or transfer of cultural
  traditions along the northern route of Homo sapiens dispersal in Asia”, project no. 19-18-00198, headed
  by E. P. Rybin. Studies of chronological position of Middle and Upper Paleolithic industries was performed
  within the Scientific Researcher Works program of Institute of Archaeology and Enthography of Siberian
  Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences no. FWZG-2022-0008 “Central Asia in antiquity: Stone Age archaeological
  cultures in a changing natural environment”.
