This article covers the history of Eastern Europe from early hominids to modern day.
Prehistory
Paleolithic
The first modern human culture in Eastern Europe and Europe in general was the Aurignacian culture, parts of which were apart of modern day Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. It is thought to have lasted from around 43,000 to 28,000 BP.[1][2]
The Szeleta Culture was a culture contemporary to that of the that of the Aurignacian culture that existed between the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic periods in Austria, Moravia, northern Hungary and southern Poland.[3] It is dated to have existed 44,000 to 40,000 years ago when both modern humans and Neanderthals co-existed with each other. Most experts believe it to be a Neanderthal culture though this is still disputed.
In around 33,000 BP, the Gravettian culture of the Upper Paleolithic would form.[4][5] The eastern Gravettians lived in modern day Ukraine and Russia and would hunt mammoths in the East European Plain.[6][7]
The eastern Gravettian culture would be succeeded by the Epigravettian culture. The Epigravettian culture was the last Upper Paleolithic culture and existed in parts of modern day Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Russia. It is estimated to have started around 21,000 years ago and ended around 10,000 years ago.
Mesolithic
Neolithic
One of the first Neolithic cultures would be that of the Elshanka culture which was located in the middle of the Volga river in modern day Russia. The culture first appeared around 7,000 BCE.[8]
The sites of the Elshanka culture are home to the oldest pottery ever discovered in Eastern Europe and Europe.[9]
