Abstract: Abstract Gravettian population during the last glacial maximum (LGM) was sparse in Europe; this is generally related to harsh environmental conditions. Here we report of geoarcheological investigations (physical, chemical and biological data) of the Sagvar site in the Hungarian part of the Carpathian Basin in southeastern Europe. Geochronological control is given by luminescence dating, which places loess accumulation between 20.6 ± 1.4 ka and 17.7 ± 1.2 ka. This study demonstrates that human occupation at Sagvar did not occur during a rather...
