The Eastern European Mesolithic tradition is located between the Carpathian and Ural mountains, and the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea (largely European Russia and Ukraine), from 11000–6500 BP. The tradition ends with the introduction of ceramics and the beginning of the Neolithic. People were nomadic hunter-gatherers and fishers using microlithic tools, although antler, bone, and wood tools have also been found. Known settlements are near lakes and rivers. Approximately ten percent of males died violently, evidence that conflict was commonplace.
