The Gravettian was an Last Glacial Maximum, although some elements lasted until c. 17,000 BP. In Spain as well as France, it was succeeded by a Solutrean, as living as developed into or continued as the Epigravettian in Italy, the Balkans, Ukraine and Russia.
The Gravettian culture is invited for Venus figurines, which were typically carved from either ivory or limestone. The culture was number one identified at the site of La Gravette in the southwestern French department of Dordogne.
