13th millennium BC

Millennium between 13,000 BC and 12,001 BC -13 May 2025 The 13th millennium BC spanned the years 13,000 BC to 12,001 BC (c. 15 ka to c. 14 ka). This millennium is during the Upper Paleolithic period. It is impossible to precisely date events that happened during this millennium, and all dates associated with this millennium are estimates mostly based on geological analysis, anthropological analysis, and radiometric dating. Geology Animals In France, the first incisor from a red deer is dated to the 13–12th millennium BC.Binois Bridault Pion Ducrocq 2014 In Levantine Natufian sites, dogs occur as early as this millennium.Hole Wyllie 2007 175 Environmental changes More than a century ago, it first became clear how much of the Magdalenian and Azilian underwent change in Western Europe.Valentin 2008 Since that time, these mutations succeeding one another between the 14th and 12th millennium BC, particularly during the Lateglacial warming, were often seen as a real revolution, frequently described through the filter of myths of catastrophes which then inspired and at times still influences prehistoric research.Valentin 2008 Human culture Humans It is known that obsidian mining in Asia Minor was well underway by this millennium.Dendrinos 2015 27 Obsidian was a resource that hunter-gatherers may have traded during this millennium.Dendrinos 2015 27 Technology and agriculture The frequency of occurrence of fundamental tool groups such as end-scrapers, burins, truncated pieces, backed pieces, perforators, and combination tools in Moravian inventory is most closely matched and is dated to the late 13th – early 11th millennium BC.Wiśniewski Mroczek Rodzik Zagórski 2012 309 From the 17th to the 9th millennium BC, no surface pressure flaking technology is known to have existed in Europe.Desrosiers 2012 269 Computer simulations demonstrate that "proto" agriculture might have started far earlier than the Fertile Crescent's conventional "beginning" of agriculture, which is supposed to have occurred around the time of the 13th millennium BC's last glacial maximum (LGM) or the beginning of the 9th millennium BC.Dendrinos 2015 26 This "proto-agriculture" phases may have begun (perhaps separately) across Eurasia and Africa at various locations.Dendrinos 2015 26 Other cultural developments Jebel Sahaba, a prehistoric battle site, dates to the 17–12th millennium BC.Crevecoeur Dias-Meirinho Zazzo Antoine 2021 Round corrals have been discovered in archaeological settings dating back to this millennium.Redding 2011 4 Boncuklu and Pınarbaşı sites stretch back to this millennium.Hodder 2011 117 Notes Bibliography Books Desrosiers Pierre M.
