Abstract
This paper briefly presents and critically discusses decorated objects (stone, bone and antler), personal ornaments and other perforated objects from the Upper and Late Palaeolithic in the Netherlands. The finds can be attributed to the Hamburgian, the Federmessergruppen and the Ahrensburgian. To date no engravings and ornaments are known with certainty from the Late Magdalenian or the Creswellian. Finds from the Federmessergruppen confirm the transition from a more naturalistic way of representation to more stylized, geometric Mesolithic art. Besides directly dated objects and objects from secure contexts a number of controversial pieces is discussed as well.
