Abstract: This study proposes a new look at the Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician (LRJ) industry based on four recently excavated open-air sites in South Moravia, (Líše / Podolí I, Želešice III / Želešice-Hoynerhügel, Líše I / Líše-tvrt and Tvarožná X / Tvarožná, ‘Za školou’), and two cave sites in Bohemia (Nad Kaákem Cave) and South Moravia (Pekárna Cave), in the Czech Republic. We suggest considering the LRJ as a late Initial Upper Palaeolithic (IUP) industry starting from the period right before Heinrich Event 4 (HE-4) and the Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) super-eruption event, ca. 42–40 ka cal BP. We propose that the LRJ was made by Homo sapiens as an ‘industrial result’ of a smooth, and mainly technological transition from Bohunician into LRJ. As a result, a place of origin for the LRJ industry is seen in Moravia, in East-Central Europe, from where modern humans (Homo sapiens) spread all over the vast northern altitude territory in Central and Western Europe. Thus the IUP “Bohunician package” did not disappear in Europe but did give rise to another IUP industry successfully adapted for the contemporary steppe-tundra belt in Northern Europe. Finally, to the long-lasting tripartite archaeological division of the IUP period (Bohunician, Szeletian, Proto-Aurignacian) with a duration of ca. 6–8,000 years in East-Central Europe, the LRJ industry should be added. This is a late IUP industry geochronologically coeval with the Proto-Aurignacian, and post-dating both the Bohunician and the Szeletian.
