New research on the Middle and Upper Paleolithic of the Kermanshah Province: West Central

Zagros Mountains; Iran

During November and December 2010, in line with the Paleolithic investigations in Zagros Mountains of

Iran, a Paleolithic survey, funded by Hugo Obermaier Society for Quaternary Research and Archaeology of

the Stone Age and the Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Universität Tübingen, was conducted among the

six districts within the Kermanshah Province including Kermanshah, Eslamabad, Dalahoo, Sarpol-e Zahab,

Gilan-e Gharb and Qasr-e Shirin. These areas cover large and various ecological regions from the eastern

hilly lands of the Mesopotamian Plain to the Zagros highlands in the west central Zagros Mountains. This

extensive survey and a test excavation at Kermanshah lead to the high volume of archaeological evidences

on the Paleolithic occupation in this region. This project aims to study the mobility strategies and settlement

dynamics of the hunter gatherers societies during the upper Pleistocene period in Kermanshah Region.

Periglacial processes and the formation of the Gravettian nd horizons at Krems-Wachtberg

Most well-known Palaeolithic open-air sites in Austria are located on slopes of terraces, hills, and promon-

tories formed by loess sediments. Slope dynamics and loess sedimentation, together with a number of

other periglacial processes, are responsible both for the conservation and the dislocation – and often enough

destruction – of archaeological ndings. In the case of the Gravettian site of Krems-Wachtberg in Eastern

Austria, where eld work has been conducted by the Prehistoric Commission of the Austrian Academy of

Sciences since 2005, the state of preservation ranges from primary deposits including in-situ occupation

surfaces with undisturbed evident features to a great variety of carefully documented secondary deposits.

The disintegration and dislocation of the primary contexts can therefore be modelled and connected to the

determining periglacial processes. Furthermore, this model helps to assess the manifold implications of

grand-scale dislocations of Palaeolithic deposits.

The research was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF): P-17258, P-19347, P21660 and P-23612

(project management: Christine Neugebauer-Maresch).
