- Abstract
The article focuses on the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition and the lithic technology in Korea. It states that the transition was characterized by the changes in knapping technique, material selection, and tool types. It notes that more refined and smaller tools were due to the development of new flaking techniques and the procurement of suitable raw materials in the Upper Paleolithic period. On the other hand, Korea lack in the Levallois technique which usually prevails in Siberia. Korea constituted a part of the Northeast Asian Paleolithic province during the Upper Paleolithic where microblade industries were distributed.
