The Late Glacial period, at the end of the Pleistocene, is marked by dynamic climatic and environmental changes. During this time, hunter-gatherers gradually recolonized Western Europe after a retreat of several millennia, representing a pivotal phase in the region’s population history. However, during the final climatic cooling of the Late Glacial, known as the Younger Dryas (ca. 12,850 to 11,650 cal BP), the number of archaeological sites drastically decreased, prompting questions about population decline and migration in response to severe environmental stress. Despite its significance, our understanding of human responses to these climatic shifts remains limited. The FROST project…
