The past year 2020 became a turning point for large parts of society and the humanities and social sciences are no exception. The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemicremindthescientificcommunitythat human-environment relations are of great social relevance. Societal crises, currently triggered by the emergence of unknown viruses or in the future by climate change, are essentially the result of widening human activities since the last 12,000 years. The Holocene, the most recent epoch in the history of the Earth, is characterized by the intrusion of humans into natural ecological systems. The invention of agriculture and animal husbandry introduced new forms of land use and transformed entire biomes. With the transition to reproductive forms of economy, anthropogenic pressure on the environment is beco ming stronger. The clearing of forests for cultivation, firewood and building materials, the grazing of livestockandtheartificialspreadofnewplantand animal species have led to profound chan ges and extensive openings of the landscape. The transformation from mobile hunter-gatherer societies to sedentary farmers in the Neolithic leads via the innovations of the metal ages directly to the globalized societies of the 21st century and their increasingly frenetic economy of growing consumption. Humans are more and more becoming victims of the successes of the Neolithic Revolution and overcoming environmental crises will require great efforts in the future. The current widespread sense of crisis, mainly but not only caused by the Corona pandemic, is causing the scientific community to turn its attention once again to the global processes of the relationship between humans and the environment. For historically oriented subjects, there is a need to explore the roots and history of destructive and unsustainable human consumption behaviour in relation to the environment. The question of how rationally motivated the conduct of human communities is has long been socially relevant. Therefore, research that examines the transformative phases in the evolution of human culture associated with past global climate changes has become particularly important in recent years. These include, for example, the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) 23– 19 ka BP, the Pleistocene/Holocene transition 12–9 kaBPandthecoolingeventat8.2 kaBP. We can assume that these had strong impacts on human communities and became the driving forces that triggered the corresponding changes in human society itself. However, it is clear that the response of social groups to climate change is not a simple and direct response to external challenges. Societies have their own behavioural models, traditions, energy and information networks anchored in complex worldview systems. Therefore, a particular society’s response to climatic events will bespecificandun","PeriodicalId":239208,"journal":{"name":"Vita Antiqua","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128985215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite approximately the same quantitative ratio, even at first glance, the materials of these two leaflets differ significantly from each other. The Trostyanchyk complex is actually blade-type: blades prevail both among production waste and among the tool kit. Flakes and tools on them dominate in Onopriyivka. If the Trostyanchyk complex can be regarded as \"classic\" in terms of the tool kit: retouched blades, end-scrapers, sickle inserts, perforators on blades, etc., then the Onopriyivka complex looks more primitive: retouched flakes, notched tools and scrapers on flakes, and others. In Onopriyivka, unlike Trostyanchyk, finds of weapons are completely absent. Products from Onopriyivka are made mainly of local raw materials, while in Trostyanchyk there are approximately equal parts of products from local and imported raw materials, and products from local flint are made as carefully as products from Volyn flint. At the same time, in both cases we can confidently speak of the local nature of production. This is evidenced by both the use of local flint raw material and the specific items present in both collections. In Trostyanchyk, as already mentioned, a hammerstone was found, in Onopriyivka — core-like fragments and chips of modify of cores. Such differences can be explained by both territorial and chronological discrepancies. Onopriyivka I is earlier, refers to the end of stage ВІ, Trostyanchyk — to the end of stage ВІІ. Trostyanchyk is located on the Southern Bug, Onopriyivka — in the Bugo-Dnieper interfluve. Although, perhaps, this situation is explained by the unevenness of the study of these sites. In addition, materials from the Vladyslavchyk settlement are published for the first time. Based on their analysis, using analogies from related and synchronous sites, the author tried to identify the features of the East Trypillia lithic industry in the Bug-Dnieper rivers interfluve. As it turned out, at the modern level, the identification of such features is not possible. The materials of the East Trypillia culture of the region are, on the whole, more similar to the materials of the settlements of the West Trypillia culture, than to related sites on the Southern Bug.

The occupation of layer I, based on a set of consistent data, constitutes the remains of a seasonal winter camp of Pleistocene horse hunters. Ten available radiocarbon dates place the calibrated age of layer I between 31,000 to 28,000 cal BP. The rapid albeit gentle overlapping of the settlement remains with alluvial sediments ensured that the original settlement and dwelling patterns and their elements survived well. Thanks to this, it is possible to reconstruct some significant aspects of the construction process, as well as details of the arrangement of the dwelling’s interior space. A 30,000-year-old, permanent skeleton cylindrical yaranga type surface construction from Mira layer I is currently representing the oldest dwelling known in the Upper Palaeolithic of Ukraine and a broader context of the steppe zone of the East European plain.
