Abstract
The Eastern European Mesolithic tradition spanned the Preboreal, Boreal, and Atlantic periods. The Preboreal stage was a transitional stage between the Late Pleistocene Ice Age and the Holocene Boreal Period. A warming period, the Polovetsian warming, occurred between 10,300 and 10,000 b.p. A partial return to glacial vegetation, the Pereslav’ cooling, followed from 10,000-9,500 b.p. The Boreal Period (9000-8000 b.p.) climate in Northern Russia was warmer than today in the winter (-12°—8° C in January), and cooler than at present in the summer (6°-18° C in July). Eastern and Central Russia and Ukraine experienced colder winters than now (-18°—10° C in January), and warmer summers (18°-24° in July) than today. In the Atlantic Period (8,000-5,000 b.p.) the climate warmed and the humidity increased.
