The article presents the results of interdisciplinary research on the oldest deposits of Bi\u015bnik Cave, located in the central part of the Krak\u00f3w\u2013Cz\u0119stochowa Upland, and addresses the chronology and origins of Levallois technology in Central Europe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers\u2019 findings suggest that Levallois technology may have appeared in Central Europe as early as c. 374,000 or 300,000 years ago. This would place its emergence significantly earlier than previously proposed, as existing hypotheses dated its appearance to no more than 200,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the authors, the introduction of Levallois methods marked an important stage not only in the development of adaptive strategies, but also in the evolution of the cognitive abilities of human populations inhabiting Eurasia and Africa during the late Middle Pleistocene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers further emphasise that the advanced character of the earliest Levallois assemblages discovered in Bi\u015bnik Cave points to a non-local origin of this technology. This may indicate that Levallois methods were introduced by incoming human groups rather than having developed locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the authors note, these findings may prompt a reassessment of the pace and routes through which technological innovations spread across prehistoric Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DOI: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.quascirev.2026.110010\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.quascirev.2026.110010<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0277379126002192?via%3Dihub\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/archeo.uwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2026\/04\/Quaternary-Science-Reviews_cover.jpg\" alt=\"Quaternary Science Reviews cover\" class=\"wp-image-40930\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archeo.uwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2026\/04\/Quaternary-Science-Reviews_cover.jpg 576w, https:\/\/archeo.uwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2026\/04\/Quaternary-Science-Reviews_cover-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/archeo.uwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2026\/04\/Quaternary-Science-Reviews_cover-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/archeo.uwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2026\/04\/Quaternary-Science-Reviews_cover-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/archeo.uwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2026\/04\/Quaternary-Science-Reviews_cover-36x48.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-bcf1bde\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"bcf1bde\"><style>@media screen and (min-width: 768px){.stk-bcf1bde {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(5% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 2 \/ 3 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-bcf1bde-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-bcf1bde-inner-blocks\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research conducted by a team led by Professor Andrzej Wi\u015bniewski provides new insights into the origins of Levallois technology in Central Europe.
