ОдесаDuring recent years, the transition from hunting-gathering to a productive economy and the neolithization of the northwestern part of the Black Sea region have appeared to be rather widely discussed in the context of the consequences of a so-called 'Great Flood' that some propose to have taken place at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. According to some researchers,the spread of agriculture in this region was the result of direct migration of population from the Fertile Crescent occurring due to a catastrophic sea-level change.These groups brought with them agricultural skills and techniques as well as domestic seeds and animals.The Late Mesolithic Grebeniky flint knapping tradition is often regarded as an indicator of such movements (Zalizniak, 2004).The subject of the present contribution is to examine the directions taken by the Grebeniky tradition diffusion on the basis of data from Zaliznychne,the westernmost settlement of the Final Mesolithic occupation in the Ukrainian part of the Lower Danube region.enFinal MesolithicKukrekGrebenikymigrationmetisationArticle
