Early advances in tool-making skills on the central East European Plain
Evidence for the early migration of humans onto the central East European Plain
Methods used to reconstruct the early migration paths of humans
Reasons for the disappearance of the Aurignacian culture at Kostenki
2. Why does the professor mention an ivory carving of a human head found at the Kostenki site?
To show that the early settlers of Kostenki possessed sophisticated tools
To indicate that the Kostenki settlers brought raw materials with them from Africa
To prove that trade existed between Kostenki and settlements in western Europe
To reinforce the idea that the artifacts found at Kostenki were Aurignacian
3. What point does the professor make about radiocarbon dating?
It is not a dependable tool for dating artifacts over a certain age.

It has been used to confirm the date that a large volcano erupted in Italy.
4. How were archaeologists able to determine the minimum age of the Kostenki artifacts?
From their proximity to the bones of certain animals
From their location relative to a layer of ash
From the discovery of tools near the site
From the style of personal ornaments found at the site
5. Why does the professor mention the discovery of needles at Kostenki?
To show that not all of the tools found at Kostenki were technologically advanced
To indicate a type of tool not found at other Aurignacian settlements
To indicate that the Kostenki settlers were equipped to survive in a cold climate
To provide a contrast between technological achievements and representational art
6. What is the professor’s opinion about early human migration to Europe?
Humans first settled in a surprising location.
Humans arrived in Europe later than previously thought.
