The 17th millennium BC spanned the years 17,000 BC to 16,001 BC (c. 19 ka to c. 18 ka). This millennium is during the Upper Paleolithic period. It is impossible to precisely date events that happened during this millennium, and all dates associated with this millennium are estimates mostly based on geological analysis, anthropological analysis, and radiometric dating.

Human Culture

It was established that the oldest barley grains were discovered in Middle East archaeological sites at Ohalo II near the Sea of Galilee, dating to this millennium. Jebel Sahaba, a prehistoric battle site, dates to the 17-12th millennium BC. Iran’s earliest villages are characterized by mud houses with rectangular rooms. This type of house has been common in western Iran since this millennium. Pressure flaked points in Western Europe disappeared during the course of this millennium. Within the Solutrean tradition, ranging from the 23rd to the 17th millennium BC, pressure flaking is used mainly in the production of small projectile points, but also in the final retouch of larger laurel-leaf points. From the 17th to the 9th millennium BC, no surface pressure flaking technology is known to have existed in Europe.
