It has been determined that during last 30 ka, the Black Sea level fluctuated in an oscillating manner. Quick sea-level rise brought the level of the Early Neoeuxinian lake from about -100 m to -20 m, most likely due to the discharge of Caspian water into the Early Neoeuxinan lake through the Manych Outlet. At the Last Glacial Maximum (27-17 ka BP), when the level of the Early Neoeuxinian lake was -100 m below present, Late Paleolithic sites were located within the deep valleys of small rivers. These valleys were flooded in the course of the Late Neoeuxinian transgression (17-10 ka BP), however, they are well expressed geomorphologically and can be easily traced on the present Black Sea shelf. This topographic information can be used to search for submerged Late Paleolithic sites on the shelf, thereby helping to locate evidence for the transition among ancient human groups from hunting large herd animals to small non-gregarious species. The beginning of the Mediterranean transgression occurred around 9.5 ka BP. Both the transgression and faunal migration occurred over the course of six transgressive-regressive stages. Mesolithic sites continued to be located along river valleys; they bear some evidence of the transition from hunting to gathering of edible plants. No signs of catastrophic flooding of the Black Sea in the Early Holocene have been found.
