However, historical and linguistic reasons have made it very difficult to study the Russian MUP in its broader European context. Furthermore, within Russia, earlier MUP assemblages have been somewhat neglected in comparison with the iconic Kostenki-Avdeevo Culture. Here I present an overview of current understanding of the Russian MUP and introduce some pressing research questions. This presentation includes some preliminary results from studies of backed bladelet assemblages from five Russian MUP sites undertaken over the past eighteen months.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first seminar of 2014 will be given by&nbsp;Natasha Reynolds from the University of Oxford.
