WE HUNTED THE MAMMOTH SERIES
Professor Shipman used information about how humans hunt with dogs to formulate a series of testable predictions about these mammoth sites.

'One of the greatest puzzles about these sites is how such large numbers of mammoths could have been killed with the weapons available during that time,' she said. In May, Pat Shipman of Penn State University took a fresh look at European archaeological sites built with mammoth bones. Separate research has found that the sudden appearance of dwellings built from mammoth bones was due to humans hunting alongside the earliest domesticated dogs. The study confirms that mammoths were a key component of the prehistoric diet in Europe 30,000 years ago, and that dogs were already being looked after by humans. Scientists believe reindeers were hunted by the Gravettian people for their antlers to make tools, and their meat was also a small part of their diet. Surprisingly, dogs in the settlement did not show a high level of mammoth consumption, but rather consumed reindeer meat. They discovered that the culture probably left behind large amounts of mammoth carcasses as shown by the finding that brown bears, wolves and wolverines also ate mammoths. The Gravettian people are famous for the many Venus figurines they created, which are widely distributed in Europe.Īnother famous prehistoric discovery of this period are the hand stencils in Cosquer Cave close to Marseilles. The culture appeared at a time when Neanderthals were being displaced by modern humans, who had entered Europe from Africa and the Middle East some 15,000 years before.ĭuring this process, Neanderthals retreated to the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula. It is divided into two regional groups: the western Gravettian, mostly known from cave sites in France, and the eastern Gravettian, with sites for mammoth hunters on the plains of central Europe and Russia. The phase was characterised by a stone-tool industry with small pointed blades used for big-game hunting, such as bison, horse, reindeer and mammoth. Gravettian culture flourished 31,000 – 22,000 years ago in the European Upper Paleolithic era. Pictured is a Gravettian Upper Paleolithic Venus figure holding horn or cornucopia
