Most Upper Palaeolithic sites dated to 28–12 k uncalibrated BP years in Hungary were classified with the Gravettian Entity model (GEM). GEM sorted lithic assemblages by their technological, typological, and chronological attributes into three units: Pavlovian, Ságvárian, and Epigravettian. GEM claimed technological differences among the groups, and argued that typologically the lithic assemblages were similar. This paper tested the assumptions of GEM and found significant typological differences between the three units. The results supported to create an alternative classification scheme for the Middle and Late Upper Palaeolithic assemblages in Hungary.
