Abstract
The process of the recolonisation of northern Europe after deglaciation is related to groups of hunter-gatherer societies called
Hamburgian culture. The process itself, the range of Hamburgian settlement, and the organisation of settlement, as well as
mobility strategies, are key issues in Early Late Glacial studies. In this paper, the implications of the wide dispersion of Hamburgian
settlements on a hypothetical scenario for colonisation due to territorial organisation will be presented.
