23 Papers given at a conference called to mark the completion of a project ecploring the site of Hundssteig in Krems. Of special importance were sedimentology, Ice Age stratigraphy and absolute chronology which were discussed and compared over large geographical regions of Europe. The discussion concentrated on the early phases of the Upper Palaeolithic and the transition from the Aurignacian to the Gravettian. These periods were exemplified by the presentation of new research from the Lower Austrian sites of Krems-Hundssteig, Krems-Wachtberg, Willendorf, Grub-Kranawetberg and Alberndorf and neighbouring regions, as well as well-known sites extending along the Danube from the Swabian Alb in Germany to Rumania and north to Russia.
