Abstract

Nearly ten years ago, at a conference in Ioannina, one of the authors (J.K.K.), tried to point to the main stages of the Gravettian/Epigravettian in the stratigraphical sequences in the Balkans. Stressing their associations, especially in the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with the Danube basin, the associations that resulted from the refuge role of the Balkans for Central Europe (Kozlowski 1999). Now, we would like to offer some remarks on the relation between the Balkans and Anatolia during the maximum and the end of the Last glacial period. Of special importance is the question: did Anatolia, at that time, belong to the European cultural province or did it belong to the Near East sphere?
