1998/1999年对克罗地亚文迪亚洞穴G级的两个尼安德特人标本进行了直接测年，得出了大约28,000年前和大约29,000年前的放射性碳(C-14)，导致了关于尼安德特人在中南部欧洲晚期存活的解释，尼安德特人与欧洲分散的早期现代人之间的互动模式，以及旧石器时代早期复杂的生物文化情景。考虑到改进，特别是骨放射性碳样品的样品预处理技术，特别是胶原样品的超滤，这些Vindja G尼安德特人化石的年代被重新确定到大约32,000-33,000 C-14年前，甚至更早。这些结果以及最近对欧洲一些据称古老的现代人类骨骼遗骸进行年代测定的结果，突显了在研究这一生物文化时期时精细的年代控制的重要性，以及对于建立现代人类和欧洲旧石器时代晚期早期的单一假设的微妙性质。
The 1998/1999 direct dating of two Neandertal specimens from level G, of Vindija Cave in Croatia to approximate to 28,000 and approximate to 29,000 radiocarbon (C-14) years ago has led to interpretations concerning the late survival of Neandertals in south-central Europe, patterns of interaction between Neandertals and in-dispersing early modern humans in Europe, and complex biocultural scenarios for the earlier phases of the Upper Paleolithic. Given improvements, particularly in sample pretreatment techniques for bone radiocarbon samples, especially ultrafiltration of collagen samples, these Vindija G, Neandertal fossils are redated to approximate to 32,000-33,000 C-14 years ago and possibly earlier. These results and the recent redating of a number of purportedly old modern human skeletal remains in Europe to younger time periods highlight the importance of fine chronological control when studying this biocultural time period and the tenuous nature of monolithic scenarios for the establishment of modern humans and earlier phases of the Upper Paleolithic in Europe.
